Re: [Aironet] Bug in Cisco 350 cards using LEAP (fwd)

[Jim V. <jv...@ci...>]

What version of firmware is in the AP?
Which draft of 802.1x is the AP supporting?
Earlier firmware supported draft 8, the 4.25.xx branch
supports draft 10.  If your AP is set for draft 8 and your
client card is using draft 10 - there will be...trouble.
4.23 firmware I believe was still draft 8 by default.
