Norman- We have found all operating systems (Apple included) that up-to-date drivers are pretty important on WPA/WPA2 networks. The driver from 2004 that might have done well on an open WLAN may well sputter on WPA/WPA2. Regardless of how you configure your supplicants at the end of the day, stuff like updated drivers and good WLAN design need to be stressed or the issues get magnified.

All of our students have centralized accounts, so they should know their name and password. We've created full instructions, with pictures, which will be made available to anyone connecting to our unencrypted network. For Macs and Vista, the process is relatively painless. Some people will probably figure it out without any help. Windows XP; however, is another beast. We've boiled things down to twelve steps, all necessary to configure PEAP, MSCHAPv2, trust levels, etc. For people that have done this in the past... how much support overhead was involved in your deployments? With clear instructions made available, were the majority of students able to figure the process out? We'll obviously have plenty of extra support staff on hand during fall move-in, but are wondering if they'll be facing a tidal wave or trickle. Thanks for any advice, stories, etc. Norman Elton College of William & Mary ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
