My networking team is receiving multiple reports of users who have moved to 
Marshmallow being unable to authenticate and gain access to our wireless.  I 
was wondering if anyone else in the community has dealt with this issue.  As a 
new member of the listserv, I apologize if this is a repeat of an issue someone 
else has raised.  Pertinent information is listed below:

One of our more motivated users reports:


So I was able to get connected into the WiFi.  I did some searching online for 
articles related to this, the biggest one I found was that older Radius 
versions running TLS 1.0.   Android Marshmallow run/forces TLS 1.2, which is 
unsupported by old RADIUS versions.  The full forum reading I've found is 
here<https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=188867#c29>.  I'm not 
sure if this has anything to do with our network but it's worth looking into.

As for the fix, on my Nexus 6P I went into Developer options and was able to 
enable "Legacy DHCP clients" under the networking section.  This forces the 
device to run DHCP from Andriod Lollipop instead of Marshmallow.  I then forgot 
the network settings for MetroState, restarted the device, and re-configured 
the connection in WiFi Settings.  I am able to connect to the WiFi and am 
getting a stable connection.  I will watch the connectivity over the next few 
days to see if this is a work around.

I have attached SS from my phone to show where the options are, in order to get 
into Developer option you must tap the "Build number" menu in the 
Settings>About Phone menu, until the phone says, "You are now a developer!".  
The developer options will then show above the "About Phone" menu option in 
settings.

Our Windows Radius server has TLS 1.2 enabled, and has been fully patched.

We're set for 802.1x, PEAP, MSCHAPv2.
