We are running 12.3(4)JA... but we also run 12.2(15)XR2 on our older
350 APs, we haven't had a problem with Apple clients before.
The problem we are having only occurs with the MacBook Pro's "AirPort
Extreme" card (its probably an intel wireless chipset), not the
original AirPort Extreme card (broadcom chipset) that the PowerPC
Macs use. The problem only appears for networks using 802.1X WEP
encryption, no encryption or WPA (802.1X TKIP) work fine for the
MacBook Pro.
Our APs encrypted VLAN accepts the following Authentication methods:
-Open Authentication + EAP
-Network EAP
I do know that if you don't enable that first one some clients may
not be able to connect, its specifically mentioned in the IOS release
notes.

Subject: Re: Another RADIUS Question (802.1x)
802.1X WEP appears to be the problem with the MacBook Pro rather than
a specific flavor of EAP. We just tested a yet to be released
(hopefully soon) software update from Apple that fixes the problem.

What version of IOS are you running on your APs? We had problems with
some variant of 12.3(4) that would not play nice with Apple's Airport
Extreme card. There was a bug in Cisco's firmware with regards to
open vs shared authentications. The PC clients seemed to overlook it,
but Apple's refused to associate. If you turned off WEP, it worked,
which made it appear to be a WEP problem.
Anyway, IOS 12.3(7) fixed the problem. We're happily running
12.3(7)JA2 now.
