Thanks!

We upgraded to 5.0.3.1 over the weekend.  It solved our "memory leak" problem.  
There was also a "catch all" acl in validuser for udp 68 that once removed our 
Androids worked.

However, we have had a few mac users complain about poor connection.  I'm going 
to give this a try.

Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Android 2.2 disappointing on the secure WLAN- is it 
just us?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but there was no clear solution at the time. 
Since then, I have been working with setting up 802.1X WPA2-Enterprise in our 
Aruba wireless environment. 

I believe that I have found a reasonable solution. By default, Aruba enables 
Opportunistic Key Caching (OKC) that enables a cached pairwise master key (PMK) 
to be used when roaming to a new AP, enabling faster roaming. In Aruba systems, 
if opp-key-caching is enabled, validate-pmkid (disabled by default) tells the 
controller to check the PMK ID sent by the client. The client must send the 
PMKID to indicate that it supports PKC. Otherwise, a full 802.1X authentication 
takes place.

I was personally seeing similar issues to those discussed in this thread. After 
I enabled the validate-pmkid setting, the issues vanished. This change should 
have no impact on clients that properly use OKC.

People with other vendor's systems likely have similar configuration options.

We have the same there here.  We can get the to connect for a short time
(2-30 minutes) and then they drop the connection and mark it as disabled.  I 
was hoping that 2.2.1 would fix it, but alas, no such luck.

If two always agree, one of them is unnecessary "Friends don't let friends do

In practice, however, they are not."
