We're doing fine with WPA-2, PEAP, MS-CHAP v2. I hate to say it- but try 
disabling IPv6 on the problem machine, and make sure no OS X updates waiting.

Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] dropped connections on Macbooks with Cisco WLC 
7.6.100.0

We're running 7.6 with a mix of APs including 3602s, no reports of this issue 
here and I've not noticed it on my Macbook Pro. Though it could always be some 
setting we don't have in common such as different encryption types, QoS, or HA 
that are causing the issue.

Happy to drill down into the nitty gritty off list if you want to check 
configs, drop me a line.

Has anyone else seen a dropped connection issue with Macbooks and Cisco WLC v 
7.6.100.0 code?

We are pilot testing 7.6.100.0 code on a WiSM2 card supporting staff APs and 
have noticed a dropped connection issue with Macbooks when associated with the 
5GHz radio on model 3602i or 3702i APs.

The connection typically fails after approx. 15 minutes, usually leaving the 
client with an IP addr which it can ping, but the client cannot ping the gw 
addr or anything beyond the gw. The client WiFi interface reports that it is 
still associated, which is confirmed on the controller side of the connection.

For one Macbook the test AP is directly above the laptop, with a 5GHz-specific 
and AP-specific SSID to help isolate the issue.

IOS and Windows7 platforms do not appear to have the issue when associated to 
the same SSID on the same AP.

But so far three Macbooks (two Macbook Air with dot11ac, one Macbook Pro with 
dot11n) have demonstrated the dropped connection issue. They are all running 
Mac OS X 10.9.x (Mavericks).

The issue does not occur when the test 3602i AP is moved back to 7.4 code.

Thanks,
