Richard, We have almost 900 Meru APs deployed and service a population of about 30,000 students. We do hear from people now and then about this issue and upgrading drivers is our first suggestion.

We are in the process of doing a Proof of Concept on Meru’s technology of single cell architecture. We ran into a few issues and I was wondering how other universities are dealing with these kind of issues or maybe they didn’t experience any issues at all. We noticed that clients with older drivers were unable to connect to the Meru network but after updating the drivers it worked fine. For example Intel 3945ABG chipset needed the 12.x driver to connect. So the default driver in Microsoft Vista is out dated. We have about 40,000 students and they all have their own laptop. Does anyone had to deal with this kind of problems? And how did you manage it in a large environment? Does anyone experience that Meru is very demanding on client configuration and driver and hardware versions? Thanks.
