Going back in time, there was buzz about devices lacking the math co-processing power and such needed to support AES when WPA2 became available, so the TKIP thing took root. It is my conjecture that any device of any kind manufactured in the last few years that can run WPA/TKIP (enterprise) can also happily do WPA2/AES (enterprise).
Of course, that doesn’t help with all of the toys that show up only able to do WPA-pre-share... sigh. Lee H.

I'm in the process of gathering usernames from WCS that connect with tkip so our help desk can contact them and verify the why of them using tkip, is it a hardware limit or improper configuration (802.11b was largely a configuration problem) Statistics right now (minus the 1500 plus clients the will show up in the next hour or two) [cid:4b610de3-55cf-47a1-9aff-e3ab9236d9f2] These statistics are included above but should be subtracted from above because they operate under separate controllers and code base (Cisco 1510's are supported as well as 802.11b), This is HUD Housing so even the occasional windows 98 user is possible.

We still have TKIP allowed on WPA. Has anyone else recently gone through the transition of disabling TKIP in order to enable N? If so, what issues did you run into with older equipment (both student and institution owned)? We're a Cisco wireless shop, I've got WCS installed but haven't had time to set up any kind of reporting on it yet. I know the few times I've remembered to check there haven't been any TKIP clients, but I'll need more than just a few slices in time to be sure. -- Nick Kartsioukas Cuesta College Computer Services 805-546-3248 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ----- No virus found in this message.
