I had a user just the other day upgrade from Windows 8 to 8.1 and it broke all of the stuff you mentioned. I rolled back the driver from version 6.30?? to 5.30 for their Broadcom 802.11n network adapter and all was well after that. The 5.30 driver was already on their computer listed under the device manager options.

Sent by: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>
Good morning,
I was wondering if any other school is having issues with the Broadcom Wireless network cards running Windows 8/8.1 pro on a WPA2/AES network? We have students that are upgrading their Dell computers from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and the cards stop working on our secure network.
They are prompted for 802.1x credentials, and the ACS server authenticates them as well as the DHCP server handing out an IP address, but the computer always states limited or no connectivity.
What is really weird is that we have a 1232AG radio and the card will connect ONLY to the A radio, but not to the 1142N-A radio. We are running 7.0.253.5 code because of the older AP’s on campus. We did purchase a separate controller for a test environment which we have running 7.4.110.0 now and it still won’t connect to the 1142n-a radios.
Trying to back the driver down to Windows 7-64 bit doesn’t work (won’t allow it to be installed).
Any ideas?
Thanks
Shayne
