We have ACS v4.0(1) Build 27 and have not heard any major issues with Vista. 
I'm sure we have a few Vista users b/c we have heard issues with the Cisco WiSM 
login page.

Luck? Possibly.

  I reviewed the release notes fir ACS v4.1 but didn't see any mention of the
  "SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS" flag.  I also heard nothing about IAS,
  Funk Odyssey, or Meetinghouse.  Perhaps others on this list can pipe in with
  their success/failure surrounding PEAPv0/MSCHAPv2 and Vista.

  For what it's worth, I'm not yet seeing these Vista PEAP issues with
  Cisco ACS (3.3)- but admittedly we have not tested all four thousand
  versions of Vista:)

  Between the WIRELESS-LAN and RESNET-L listserv it seems like there are
  two
  issues with Vista and wireless.  

  Problem: Client associates but is unable to obtain IP. 
  Reason: Vista has changed they way Microsoft handles PEAP.  The extra
  empty
  fragment (sent as a security measure by OpenSSL) confuses Vista such
  that
  the PEAP transaction doesn't complete.  The RADIUS vendors have had to
  add
  support for the  "SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS" flag.  This flag
  is
  required and described in more detail here: 
  http://www.openssl.org/~bodo/tls-cbc.txt 
  Resolution: Update/patch RADIUS server to latest version.  FreeRADIUS
  1.1.5
  is out but it v1.1.4 already addressed this.  It was fixed in Radiator
  3.16
  late last year.
  Note: Only applies to those using PEAP for authentication, not an issue
  for
  WEP or WPA/WPA2-PSK.  There's also an unpublished Microsoft KB
  article,
  932063, that seems to fix this.  I'm still getting verification on
  this.


  Problem: Client associates but is unable to obtain IP from certain
  routers
  or from certain non-Microsoft DHCP servers
  Reason: This issue occurs because of a difference in design between
  Windows
  Vista and Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). Specifically, in
  Windows XP SP2, the BROADCAST flag in DHCP discovery packets is set to
  0
  (disabled). In Windows Vista, the BROADCAST flag in DHCP discovery
  packets
  is not disabled. This means that Vista asks for the DHCP offer to come
  back
  by broadcast, which may not work on some DHCP servers.  
  Resolution: Disable the DHCP broadcast flag as documented here:
