I have started having issues with my 2960's and 802.1x as well. I am running IOS 12.2(52)SE. Sometimes a reboot or port restart works but lately that has stopped working. We are using the AnyConnect client as our supplicant with user/password to ACS 4.2 server for Windows.

Any help would be awesome!

Thank you.
