So you found success fixing the issue by disabling IPv6 on the Mac clients?

We found that IPv6 was on by default. The theory is, it would try to get an IPv6 DHCP first, timeout, grab an IPv4, then retry IPv6. In doing so, disconnect. >From Terminal, networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi Disconnects are a major problem with OSX 10.5 and above...just read the forums on Apples site.

We are an Aruba deployment (M3 controllers and AP-105s/125s). For the past 3 weeks we have seen a high amount of disconnections where about 90% have been tracked Apple notebooks with the latest OS versions. I'd be grateful to hear if anyone one is having, of has had the same issue recently, and any possible recommendations to address the issues. ________________________________ HERNAN LONDONO Associate CIO Barry University ********** 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/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
