Are you doing any kind of onboarding? We were able to generate a report of driver versions for our client base from SecureW2, for example.

This begs the question of trying to identify the problematic machines and seek them out, or just announce a future date to turn on Wi-Fi 6 and go back to dealing with updating drivers as they come up. We'll have a mix (currently ~15% Wi-Fi 6) of AP models for a while, so the issues won't all show right away. Anyone looked into identifying the machines needing updated through fingerprinting (Aruba Insight or Airwave or Clearpass ) ?
