Hey,
I have same problem with Cisco 2100 Series WLC on software version 7.0.98.0.
I get a lot of error messages in Log Monitor which look like these:
| 0 | Thu Dec 9 09:00:28 2010 | Client Excluded: MACAddress:(..................) Base Radio MAC :(..................) Slot: 0 User Name: unknown Ip Address: (..................) Reason:802.1x Authentication failed 3 times. ReasonCode: 4 |

I'm not using 802.X authentication, it's just WPA/TKIP ...not even WPA2/AES. Each client gets disconnected few times per day. Auth fails like you see above, but for the most time connection just works. Not as good as I'd want it to, but it works, somehow.
I have also set up two WLANS for other devices like printers etc - it works just fine. I mean - no errors, no disconnects, it works perfectly, but why the hell is WPA not working?!
Second bigger problem is that every computer connected via WIFI is loosing one ping packet every minute. I have WLC -> 7 x AP -> End devices.
Everything till AP's is connected via ethernet, then it's wifi connection. When I'm pinging WLC or AP's from lan connected PC it works fine, but when I'm pinging wifi connected end devices (6 pc's) - each one is loosing one packet in exact, same time - every minute.
When I'm doing the same but from second side - wifi connected pc pinging AP's, WLC, lan pc - I loose one ping packet to each device including AP, WLC, other end devices.
It's definately fault in WLC configuration because I loose these packetes on AP's <-> WIFI devices. Any idea, any clue? I'm not sure which setting is responsible for that.
Thanks in advance for any hints, suggestions.
Regards,
Łukasz
