Problems with Compaq clients and EAP

[jason.scott]

Does anyone have or know of an all-in-one guide to getting secure 802.1x wireless working with non-cisco cards please?

I have been struggling for weeks attempting to get this working with a Compaq TC1000 tablet PC with built in Compac Mini-WIFI card and an Aironet 1100. We also have ACS 3.2 running for our RADIUS box.

I have followed a few guides on Cisco which individually show how to configure EAP on the client or EAP on the AP.

At present I am trying EAP-TLS. The client has a personal certificate obtained from our local CA via the web interface. I am also using windows to configure the wireless on the client.

Open + EAP is selected on the AP, but it just doesn't want to work. The client see's the network, associates but fails to authenticate and thus remains with a 0.0.0.0 ip address. I see no failed attempts on ACS either.

Please can anyone help.

Obvious I've the same problem: I want to authenticate a wireless xp-client (XP Pro Ver.2002 SP1) through an AP1200 (12.03T ) via eap-tls on an acs server (ver. 3.1).I hoped to find an answer here - but it's also good to know that others also are struggling...

In the "EAP-TLS Deployment Guide for Wireless LAN Networks" (networking_solutions_white_paper09186a008009256b.shtml) it looks pretty easy but the client had no access although the AP logging shows that it's associated and authenticated.

Does anybody has ever setup this scenario?

Thanx for any help
