Saw this on a Lenovo w/ Broadcom nic (Win 8.1) earlier this week that would 
grab a lease on our older Cisco 1242’s/1131’s but not the newer 2600’s.

We've seen this on alot of Lenovo laptops after they upgraded to Windows 8.1 
and we just roll back the driver to a version around 5.30 and it seems to solve 
the problem. The comment is that they can connect at home but cannot connect to 
anything enterprise level.

Cannot comment on the Ubuntu portion.

Hi all,

We’ve seen several occurrences of an issue where wireless clients would not 
accept an IP address from our DHCP server after authenticating.

This seems to be limited to Broadcom devices running either Windows 8.1 or 
Ubuntu Linux (seen this on 12.04).

Our infrastructure is Cisco based (derivative of 7.2.111.3 firmware) on 3600 
series APs.

Has anybody else seen something similar?

Cheers,
Tristan
