HP Elitebook with Broadcom wireless and Cisco 2504

[Snakepottery01]

Hi All,

 

On and off we have had various visitors who are unable to associate with our wireless. I have put it down to the driver revision and generally taken no notice.

However, having recently upgraded an HP Elitebook to Win 8.1 from Win 7 it no longer associates. The notebook has a Broadcom wireless card. The solution is to manually load the Win 7 driver for the card.

 

Much research sort of indicates that there is a problem with some revisions of Cisco's firmware. We are on 7.0.220.0, an early version. However some seem to find the issue still exits in V 7.6, the latest. It seems that there is a compatibility between Broadcomm Win 81. drivers and the way Cisco implement WPA EAP?

 

Does anyone have any first hand experience of this annoying problem and its resolution. I don't want to go the hassle of upgrading the Cisco f/w and it not fix the problem.

 

Thanks

Andy
