HI All We're using Nortel (which is basically Trapeze) gear for our wireless solution. We have about 50 laptops we sign out at the library for students to use. As a front end to logging in, these laptops use Novell, and therefore need their network connection to come up during boot before they can log in.
What we've done is create a separate ssid for these and we use WPA-PSK with TKIP for encryption/authentication. The laptops are imaged to have the ssid as being automatically connect and have the PSK (pre-shared key, also called the network key) stored in them for that ssid. We have seen problems with the laptops where sometimes (about 20% of the time) they won't bring up their network connection. It seems that on these laptops (a variety of hardware, but mostly LenovoT60), if we uninstall the AEGIS client under the properties of their network connection, it seems to work. I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen issues with this.
