Problem with older wireless network drivers.

[Richard Elder]

I have run across a number of machines that seem to have a problem authenticating to the radius server via Cisco 1200 AP using LEAP.  All the newer Cisco/Intel cards don't have a problem with current or recent drivers, but a model of Atheros and Belkin drivers that have a copyright date of 2004/2005 seem to have a problem authenticating.  These are specific medical equipment from venders that the obtaining updated drivers may not be available.  
 
As a test, I setup a test, I setup a standalone AP with it's built in Radius Server, and then had the device with the older drivers try to authenticate to it, and it worked just fine.  So the problem seems to be with the FreeRadius server with the older drivers!??
 
Below is a sample of te debug of the radius from the Cisco 1200 with the device with the old driver.
