Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Broadcom Win8.1 clients not accepting DHCP offer

Hi all, Thanks for your information! Looks like this is a thing…. Has anyone chased this up with wireless vendors (assuming this has only been observed on a Cisco network) to work out whether it’s a Broadcom or Cisco issue? I don’t have one of these devices myself to reproduce the issue in te
