802.1X network

Dear fellow members,
I am working at a university where they work with certificates to connect to a 802.1X wifi netwerk trough TTLS.
We are working with 15 MBP's with 10.6.7 on it. They are all rent notebooks, so the 802.1X profile needs to be empty of credentials so they need to login again after restart/reboot.
So i made a profile on TTLS with PAP without credentials and after that i try to connect and yes, there it is, a credential login box. So far so good. Even the authentication works great, so the connection to the wifi network is quickly made.
But when i restart the MBP, the first thing the OS is doing is showing me the credential login box. Hey, no problem at all, that is exactly wat i need. Only this time, when i fill in my credentials, it isnt connecting to the network. I have to cancel the login box, going to the netwerk preferences and push the connect button which shows me again a credential login box. I fill in the credentials and yes, it is working again.
So, few questions about this. Why is the first login box not working? It is a login box which ask me for credentials for the network i want, so i really dont understand why it isn't working. And how can i remove the first login box screen?

Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter not working on Windows 7 64bit

As the title suggests, my laptop (Alienware m17x) is installed with the Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter and Windows 7 64bit Home Premium. I have had several other driver incompatibility issues with Windows 7, but those I have slowly been able to resolve. This however just cropped up after two months of successful use. Yesterday it started failing to connect to the internet, telling me that no wireless connections are available. I live in a dorm, and everyone else on my floor has successful wireless, including my Ipod Touch, PS3 and XBox 360. I called Alienware/Dell Support and we spent hours trying to fix the problem and all look well until I rebooted my laptop this morning and the same issue reappeared. When I reboot my laptop, all I get is a notification that no networks appear in range. If I uninstall the broadcom chip and let windows install it after a boot up it works until the machine is rebooted a second time. I have tried over a dozen windows 7 drivers for the chip, and about half a dozen vista drivers and they all have the same results, works on the first boot, fails every time after that

Just registered to say, on an Alienware M17x system as well running Windows 7 Ultimate, here is a link to a solution that worked exactly for me:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware/436486-guide-properly-solve-wireless-connection-problems-m17x.html
All I did was section I.a. If the link is down, I copied the only section that I needed to follow out of this guide, in order to get my wireless to work repeatedly without having to uninstall the wireless driver every single reboot. Now it works perfectly,
already connected to a wireless network on startup.
I.a. Disable Device sleep on disconnect
Some newer Nvidia Ethernet drivers have a feature called Device sleep on disconnect. This is the culprit. Normally, it should only put the Ethernet adapter to sleep when the cable is disconnected, but it's buggy and thus kills the wireless connection as
well.
Follow these steps to disable this feature on your Nvidia Ethernet Adapter:
1. Open the Windows Device Manager by hitting Win+Pause, then click on Device Manager on the left side.
2. Double-click on Network adapters.
3. Double-click on NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (yes, that's the wired Ethernet adapter indeed).
4. Click on the Advanced tab.
5. Select Device sleep on disconnect.
6. Set the Value to Disabled.
7. Click OK and wireless should work again (might require a reboot afterwards, but probably not).

How to use AirPlay on a 802.1x network

I'm trying to connect an AppleTV 3 to an 802.1x network, but I failed to use Airplay: no Airplay buttons appear on proper apps on my iPad 2. Only if I join a commercial ADSL network, anything works well, but this solution is not applicable to my aims (using Keynote from iPads to our interactive whiteboards).
May I install a profile configuration (link) to my AppleTV? This would solve all my problems... I tried, unsuccesully .
You can find a description of the network I tried to join here (in Italian).
I don't need to play any movie downloaded from iTunes, so I shouldn't need any Internet connection, should I? The captive portal described in the link above in necessary only for Internet, not to join the internal network.
I'm available for any further explanation and I hope to have been clear...
Filippo

Thanks Daniel,
I'll try the suggestion asap!

Best practice to use PXE on 802.1X network ?

Hello,
We use Cisco ISE 1.2.0.899 on our network (we plan to upgrade to 1.3 in some months).
Our network includes Cisco models 2960S (and some 2960T) about wired and 2602I (with WISM2) about wireless.
We have to allow PXE boot on one (or many) VLAN.
Do you know what's the best practice to use PXE on a 802.1X network ?
Does ISE and/or Switch can recognize PXE request?
Do we have to use settings/rules into ISE or on Switch?
Does the easy way is to allow PXE on WebAuth VLAN?
Regards,
Chris

I am in a similar position.
We would prefer to keep all switch ports common, even those used for imaging from scratch.
For PXE as far as I can see we need to allow the port to quickly fail 802.1X and MAB to a remediation VLAN.
Using ISE we can apply an ACL that allows PXE bootp and dhcp requests and responses along with any other traffic we want in that network i.e. access to internet proxy server, anti-virus updates for posturing etc.
I haven't configured this yet so I'm not sure of what issues we'll face with timing. We currently use an auth pattern of 802.1X first, then MAB, then fail open to the static VLAN. With ISE 1.3 this is the supposed suggested method instead of a hard "closed" mode.
switchport access vlan XX
switchport mode access
network-policy VV
ip access-group ACL-ALLOW in
authentication event fail action next-method
authentication event server dead action reinitialize vlan XX
authentication event server dead action authorize voice
authentication host-mode multi-domain
authentication open
authentication order dot1x mab
authentication priority dot1x mab
authentication port-control auto
authentication periodic
authentication violation restrict

So by the virtue of my MacBook being compliant with the 802.11d standard I am open to these issues? And from the way you are explaining it it sounds like Apple is ahead of the curve with implementing 802.11d compliance?
They're not ahead of the curve +per se+, but as an example many Windows XP machines are behind the curve if you will.
Would it be legal to write an app or driver that you can set ignore certain problem country codes when you want it to? Because something like this would help my issue also rather than playing lotto each time I turn my MacBook on or wake it from sleep, hoping it will see my wireless network first.
Unfortunately, I'm not a lawyer and not in Australia so I couldn't begin to guess at what is legal and what's not in this arena.
However, there is no interface to the driver to be able to manually set a country code, so the point may be moot.
I don't know what kisMAC can and cannot display, but the country code is broadcast within the 802.11 beacon frame and/or probe response frame if the frame's dot11MultiDomainCapabilityEnabled option is true, so you may want to try looking at its output of beacon frames.
Three octets make up the country code - the two character country code and a third octet which is one of:
    * An ASCII space character (0x20) if the regulations under which the 802.11 station is operating encompass all environments in the country.
    * An ASCII ‘O’ character (0x4F) if the regulations under which the 802.11 station is operating are for an outdoor environment only.
    * An ASCII ‘I’ character (0x49) if the regulations under which the 802.11 station is operating are for an indoor environment only.
The way the 802.11d standard specifies this all works is:
9.9.1 Operation upon entering a regulatory domain
A STA that is enabled for operation across regulatory domains shall default to passive scanning when it has lost connectivity with its ESS. Passive scanning is performed using only the receive capabilities of the station and is, thus, compatible with regulatory requirements. The timeout for determining the loss of connectivity is system dependent and beyond the scope of this standard.
When a STA enters a regulatory domain, it shall passively scan to learn at least one valid channel, i.e., a channel upon which it detects IEEE Std 802.11 frames. The Beacon frame contains information on the country code, the maximum allowable transmit power, and the channels to be used for the regulatory domain. Optionally, the Beacon frame may also include, on a periodic basis, the regulatory information that would be returned in a Probe Response frame. Once the STA has acquired the information so that it is able to meet the transmit requirements of the regulatory domain, it shall transmit a Probe Request to an AP to gain the additional regulatory domain information contained in the Probe Response frame, unless the information was previously received in a Beacon fame. The STA then has sufficient information available to configure its PHY for operation in the regulatory domain.

Note that this spec dates to 2001, so it's hardly something "new," just something that wasn't necessarily widely supported.

802.11a network not supported for this Country Code

Hi, I get the following error whne enabling 802.11a network on a AIR-WLC2106-K9. Country is set to ID (Indonesia)
>config 802.11a enable network
802.11a network not supported for this Country Code
Yet, on a AIR-CT2504-K9, set to same country code there is no problem.
Is this a WLC model or version issue? WLC2106 is on version 6.0.199.4 while the CT2504 is 7.0.220.0
Andrew

Well is it the only country code selected? Also you might as well upgrade the 2106 to 7.0.x and move off the 6.0.x. Since your 2604 is at that code you might as well upgrade the 2106 and see. I'm guessing that you have the same APs and the APs are for that country.

Multiple SSIDs, but the 802.1x network always weaker

Just now starting to poke at this- we have an open-auth network and an 802.1x network. In areas where we are more hot-spotty and a client can only see a single AP, we're getting a fair number of reports that the 802.1x network is weaker in signal out of the same AP than the open WLAN is. My first thought is that it's likely in the way that RSSI/"bars" are displayed on individual clients, but we're also hearing that the 802.1x nework in these spots was too weak to use, but when jumping over to the open network, the connection was usable. Has anyone else had to deal with this perception?

Lee
As the signal strength is normally calculated from the beacon transmitted by the AP and it is the same regardless of authentication used. Are the users seeing only one AP or one SSID. the real question is what is the signal level in tha area that you are having trouble. According to the manufacturer what data rate is supported at that signal level, what data rate does the client show. Are they running the latest drivers. What does the event log on the AP say about the connection.
Hope this helps.

Connecting Apple TV 2 to 802.1x network

I am trying to use my apple tv 2 at school, which has an 802.1x network and none of the security settings give me the option to type in my username and password. does anyone know how to do this?

I've never used 802.1X networks.
Say you had an iphone or ipad and wanted to connect - how would you enter the username?
If the support is there in iOS it may just need enabling for AppleTV.

[connman] How to connect to 802.1x network

Hello my friends,
there is a 802.1x network at my university and I can´t connect to it.
connmanctl> scan wifi
Scan completed for wifi
connmanctl> services
uni_wlan wifi_xxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_managed_ieee8021x

connmanctl> connect wifi_xxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_managed_ieee8021x
Error /net/connman/service/wifi_xxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_managed_ieee8021x: Invalid arguments
What could I do?

Hm... My best guess is that you spelled wifi_x_x_managed_ieee8021x wrong. Thats the the same error I got when I spelled it wrong. AFAIK, it must be typed in correct case too. Other than that, there may be something in the wiki here: Connman, connecting to a protected access point
It could also potentially be connman timing out, as per this github article. Although the article is for the raspberry pi, it should still be applicable to connman in general.
Have a look and let us know if you still cannot connect.

Iwlwifi does not detect present 802.11n networks

I just got a new laptop, and the iwlwifi driver it's using is not detecting 802.11n networks that I know are there. My old laptop, which is also using the iwlwifi driver, is currently connected to that network less then 2 feet away. The old laptop has kernel 3.4.4, whereas the new one has kernel 3.4.7. Is that the problem, or is it the card?
New laptop:
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2200 (rev c4)

I know that. Are you saying the new 2200 only does N at 2.4GHz?
Oh, and I not only had an IPW 2200, I still have it! . Actually, I have an IPW 2915, which also does 802.11a in addition to 802.11bg. It uses the same ipw2200 driver though.
Edit: Did a bit of googling, the new 2200 indeed only does N at 2.4GHz. Let me just say that this is totally and completely insane. It's so insane I couldn't imagine such a thing could even exist.
It's a billion dollar company. What do you expect? I found out yesterday Microsoft actually has a 16 GB memory limit on Windows 7 Home Premium. You need a Pro version to use more. There I was, telling my friend to get 32 GB for his video editing rig.
As for daenyth's card, convention has it that bgn is 2,4 GHz only. An a(b)gn card can do both 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz. You don't need to check specs for that. It's sad indeed, but there are still plenty 2,4 GHz-only 802.11n cards around. This new laptop I got a few months back came with one, and that wasn't a 300 EUR netbook.

I have a dualband Airport Express. Why is my Macbook air default connecting to the 802.11g network instead of the n one?

I'm using a dualband Airport Express:
http://www.apple.com/airport-express/specs/
Recently, I've noticed that my wi-fi speeds vary alot. I went into About this Mac---> System info -----> system report and went to wi-fi. Turns out it says my current configuration is on the 802.11g network. Under other connections, it lists my identical wi-fi as 802.11n.
How can i make it connect to the 802.11n connection by default?
Much appreciated,

G-band networks generally will have a stronger signal than n-band.
Tell it to ignore the g network and only connect to the N-band network.
Open Network System Prefs, select WiFi, and click Advanced...
Click on the WiFi tab.
Find you g-band network in the list and delete it.
Check the box to Remember networks this computer has joined.

Airport Express 802.11n joining existing Aiport Extreme 802.11g network

We added an Airport Express to support Airtunes on a stereo system to an existing Airport Extreme 802.11g network. The original Extreme had an antenna to extend its range as well. The problem we are having is that the connection from an iMac keeps going up and down. Is there an issue using WDS between Airport units that are of different speeds? Any thoughts on why this might be doing this and how we can get it to operate stably again as it was with just the old Airport Extreme.

I am concerned with the speed being reduced by half per node. Do you mean if I had three access points in a WDS network the speed would be half or does it reduce to one third?
Also, I want to point out in the latest manual, WDS does support 802.11n and mixed, including wide channel, which may over come being halfed but not further reductions.

Setting Up a Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
When you connect devices wirelessly in a WDS, you set up each device as
either a main, a remote, or a relay device.
You can connect AirPort Extreme 802.11n Base Stations or Time Capsules and use the
5 GHz frequency band in the network. Only client computers that have 802.11n wireless
cards installed can join the network. If you want client computers using 802.11b or
802.11g wireless cards to join the network, set up the network using the 2.4 GHz
frequency band, or add 802.11g AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express to the network. See
“Choosing the Radio Mode” on page 21 for information about setting the frequency
band of the network. You can also set up a dual-band network that utilizes both the
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, so client computers using 802.11n wireless cards
can join the 5 GHz segment of the network, and computers using 802.11b or 802.11g
wireless cards can join the 2.4 GHz segment. See “Setting up a Dual-Band (2.4 GHz and
5 GHz) Network” on page 48.

Wireless Music and Surfing on Express via a 802.11n network

Hello.
Just a quick query I hope. I am setting up a 802.11n network but i would still like to stream music from my mac to my hi-fi. As i understand it the two specifications (g and n) are compatible, however I would still like the benefit of the 802.11n network, as such i would use a dedicated 'n' router for the network and just have the express base connected to the stereo.
If i set-up my Express base station, would this comprise speeds for internet surfing, file sharing, and reliability / performance? Or would it simply use the 'n' router network for the net but iTunes would pickup the express base-station for music?
All advice welcome, regards, Jim.

I suggest, if practical, to set up a "dual band" network with your new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) and the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to take advantage of their features.
Setting up a "dual band" network is described in the Designing AirPort Networks Using the AirPort Utility document, starting on page 48.

Problems with 802.11b networks

My MBP did not connect to my 802.11b home network as all my PCs do. So I upgraded to an 802.11g access point and now all the computers are talking to each other and the Internet.
But the MBP will not connect to ANY 802.11b network. I have tried several and no go!! All are unencrypted so no WEP issues. Am I missing something with the MBP or is there something wrong with the software. The configuration test window shows a strong signal and green indications for the top three lights (802.11b stuff) while turning red for the bottom three (actual connection related stuff).
I am a returning Mac user after 20 yrs with the PC, but this is very frustrating.
Thanks for your help

I've connected to 802.11b networks with no problem so it isn't a general problem.
I'm not clear on what software you are using. What software shows red and green status indicators?

Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter Drivers

Hi, I believe the drivers for my network adapter could be out of date and I am unable to find anywhere to download the drivers, would anyone be able to direct me to where I can download drivers for the Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter found in my Alienware 18 laptop, it would be greatly appreciated.
Current Driver;
Network Adapter : Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter
Driver Version : 6.30.95.48
Driver Date : 05/03/2013
Thanks, Depo.

Add me to the list of people with issues with the Broadcom 802.11ac... I have two identical Alienware 17s, one suffers from constant Wireless Adapter resets. very aggravating anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes I am discoed and then moments later reconnected.
Additionally, I have seen the major frame stutters, but I just associated that to the WLAN resetting or getting ready to.
I have tried updating Drivers, I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them, I have disabled and enabled the device, I have spent at least four hours on the Dell Troubleshooting pages looking for a resolution, so far nothing has resolved the issue.
I'm at the point I'm thinking it is the Broadcom 802.11ac Adapter
The second Alienware 17 has worked without a single issue.
I could use a little help on this one.
