Great - we got the bootloader, and I'll talk with my teammates about upgrading the WLC code to 7.0.235 as well. Ugh!

There is a new code release 7.0.235 that has the fix available from Cisco. Also has an updated Boot Loader. No such luck with earlier releases.

There is an update that needs to be applied to your controllers. We did that this last weekend and now are able to authenticate with the few Windows 8 test machines we have with latest drivers. Has to do with an incompatibility with 802.11w that is required in Win 8. Robert Owens Kansas State University.

It was actually the test bed I used to configure XpressConnect. I also just tested a PC on our domain with Xpressconnect and it seemed to work just fine. As for the drivers I am unaware of any issues. I used a generic usb wireless adapter (on a Windows 8 VM and Desktop on the domain )and didn't install any drivers as Windows found something acceptable I wouldn't call this a complete test as it's not the final edition but would be interested to know what issues are you seeing? -Bryan Cassell ____________________________________ Bryan Cassell | Network Technician, ITS/Networking Services | (: 978.542.2127 Salem State University, 70 Loring Ave., Salem Massachusetts 01970 From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Gogan, James P Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 8:51 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Xpressconnect and Windows 8 We've not gotten XpressConnect to work happily with Windows 8 yet, so I'm interested in this as well.

I realize there are lots of issues with Windows 8 drivers that make this complicated, so I'm just wondering how it is working when the drivers are capable.
