---

•The following information from your system administrator:

–The logical name for your workstation (also referred to as client name)

–The protocols necessary to bind to the client adapter

–The case-sensitive service set identifier (SSID) for your RF network

–If your computer is not connected to a DHCP server, the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address of your computer

–The wired equivalent privacy (WEP) keys of the access points with which your client adapter will communicate, if your wireless network uses static WEP for security

–The username and password for your network account

–Protected access credentials (PAC) file if your wireless network uses EAP-FAST authentication with manual PAC provisioning

•Access points to which your client adapter may attempt to authenticate must use the following firmware versions or later: 12.00T (340, 350, and 1200 series access points) or Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)JA (1100 series access points).

---

Note To use WPA or fast roaming, access points must use Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)JA or later. To use radio management (RM), access points must use Cisco IOS Release 12.2(13)JA or later. To use QoS and WMM, access points must use Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JA or later.

---

•All necessary infrastructure devices such as access points, servers, gateways, and user databases must be properly configured for any authentication type you plan to enable on the client.

Important Notes

PEAP-GTC Authentication Does Not Complete with the 350 Driver

When using the 350 driver for authentication with a unified PEAP-GTC SSID, the user is prompted to click on toolbar balloon message to authenticate to the network. When the user clicks on the Click here to select a certifcate or other credentials for connection to the network <SSID name> message, the balloon goes away, but no prompt is displayed.

This issue is a C/A root certificate issue. The server certicate can be a size up to 2048 and use either an RSA or a DSA signature algorithm. The C/A root certificate must be 1024 or smaller and must use an RSA signature algorithm. Any certificate that is of a bigger size or that uses a different signature algorithm causes the 350 to fail.

Customized Installation Images (Notice to IT Professionals)

---

Caution Use caution when bundling the client adapter software into a customized installation image. If the registry settings are modified, the software may not install and uninstall properly.

---

Firmware Is Upgraded Automatically

The Install Wizard automatically upgrades the client adapter firmware to the version included in the Install Wizard file.

---

Note Applications such as AirMagnet and Wild Packets may fail after the firmware is upgraded. To resolve this problem, use ACU to downgrade the firmware to the previous version. Older versions of client adapter firmware are available from the Software Center on Cisco.com.

---

Reboot Required When Uninstalling ACU

---

Caution When you uninstall ACU, make sure you reboot your computer when prompted. Otherwise, the system may be rendered unable to boot, displaying the message "The Logon User Interface DLL cswGina.dll failed to load. Contact your system administrator to replace the DLL or restore the original DLL."

---

Uninstalling Software Components

All profiles are deleted if you use the Uninstall All Components option on the Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapter Installation Wizard screen to uninstall the client adapter software. Cisco recommends that you use the Profile Manager's export feature to save your profiles before uninstalling the software.

Inserting and Removing Client Adapters

The following rules apply when inserting and removing client adapters:

•If you start ACU while a client adapter of one radio type is inserted (such as a 350 series PC card) and then eject the card and replace it with a card of another radio type (such as a CB20A PC-Cardbus card), ACU displays "Your Wireless LAN Adapter is not inserted" until ACU is shut down and restarted.

•The profiles for PC-Cardbus cards are tied to the slot in which the card is inserted. Therefore, you must always insert your PC-Cardbus card into the same slot, create profiles for both slots, or export the profiles for one slot and import them for the other slot.

New EAP-SIM Supplicant Available

A new EAP-SIM supplicant is available for download from Cisco.com. This new supplicant is an upgrade to the one included in the Install Wizard file. It provides new features, supports more recent versions of the EAP-SIM draft standard, and can be used with standard GSM-SIM cards as well as Gemplus SIM+ smartcards.

The new supplicant overwrites any previous EAP-SIM supplicant settings. If you plan to install the Cisco Aironet Install Wizard file after the new supplicant is installed, either perform an express installation or make sure that the EAP-SIM option is not selected on the Custom Installation screen. Otherwise, the EAP-SIM supplicant included in the Install Wizard file overwrites the new supplicant's settings.

You can access the latest EAP-SIM supplicant at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/access-registrar-encrypted

Windows Wireless Network Connection Icon Shows Unavailable Connection (Windows XP Only)

If your computer is running Windows XP and you configured your client adapter using ACU, the Windows Wireless Network Connection icon in the Windows system tray may be marked with a red X and show an unavailable connection even though a wireless connection exists. This condition is caused by a conflict between ACU and Windows XP's wireless network settings. Simply ignore the Windows icon and use the ACM icon to check the status of your client adapter's wireless connection.

Table 1 Software Components and Their Parameters 

Component or Parameter	Description
Firmware	Installs the firmware version included in the Install Wizard file. Default: Checked
Disable Firmware Checking	The Disable Firmware Checking parameter affects the firmware that is bundled with the driver, not the firmware that is included in the Install Wizard. It controls whether the driver (whenever it loads) installs the firmware with which it is bundled. Note The driver loads each time you insert a client adapter or reboot your computer. Options: Yes or No Default: Yes
	Disable Firmware Checking	Description
	Yes	Prevents the driver from installing the firmware with which it is bundled, enabling the client adapter to retain its current firmware version.
	No	Causes the driver to install the firmware with which it is bundled if that firmware is newer than the firmware that is currently installed in the client adapter.
	Note The Disable Firmware Checking parameter is functionally equivalent to the Automatically Load New Firmware When NDIS Driver Is Updated parameter on the ACU Preferences screen. The parameter that is set last is the one that governs how the driver behaves.
Drivers	Installs the driver version included in the Install Wizard file. Default: Checked
Set Quiet Mode?	Specifies whether the client becomes quiet (to passively scan or listen) when its associated access point is turned off. In quiet mode, the client generates radio frequency energy only in direct response to an access point transmission. When the access point is turned back on, it starts sending beacons, which the client hears and can now respond to. This parameter applies to individual cards rather than profiles. It can be set differently for different cards and remains in effect across ACU sessions and computer reboots. Options: Yes or No Default: No Note You can also change the quiet mode setting in ACU by choosing the Turn Quiet Mode On/Off option from the Commands drop-down menu.
Aironet Client Utility	Installs the ACU version included in the Install Wizard file. Default: Checked
Installation Path	Determines the path where the ACU software will be installed. You can change the default by entering a new path. Default: C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\Aironet Client Utility

Security Modules
LEAP	Installs the LEAP supplicant included in the Install Wizard file. Installing the LEAP supplicant enables you to create a profile in ACU that uses LEAP authentication. If this option is not selected now and you later want to create a profile that uses LEAP, you must run this installation program again and choose this option. Default: Checked Note If you choose LEAP on a Windows XP device, Windows XP's fast user switching feature is disabled.
Allow Saved LEAP User Name and Password	Enables you to create a profile in ACU that uses a saved (rather than temporary) username and password for LEAP authentication. When such a profile is selected, the saved username and password are used to start the LEAP authentication process, and you are not prompted to enter them. Options: Yes or No Default: Yes
EAP-SIM	Installs the EAP-SIM supplicant included in the Install Wizard file. Installing the EAP-SIM supplicant enables the client to support EAP-SIM authentication. If this option is not selected now and you later want to use EAP-SIM, you must run this installation program again and choose this option. Default: Unchecked Note To enable EAP-SIM authentication, your computer must run Windows 2000 with the Microsoft 802.1X supplicant installed or Windows XP. Note If you installed the new EAP-SIM supplicant from Cisco.com (see the "New EAP-SIM Supplicant Available" section), make sure the EAP-SIM option is not selected. Otherwise, the EAP-SIM supplicant included in the Install Wizard file overwrites the new supplicant's settings.
PEAP	Installs the PEAP supplicant included in the Install Wizard file. Installing the PEAP supplicant enables the client to support PEAP authentication. If this option is not selected now and you later want to use PEAP, you must run this installation program again and choose this option. Default: Unchecked Note To enable Cisco PEAP authentication, your computer must run Windows 2000 with the Microsoft 802.1X supplicant installed or Windows XP. Note Service Pack 1 for Windows XP and the Microsoft 802.1X supplicant for Windows 2000 include Microsoft's PEAP supplicant, which supports a Windows username and password only and does not interoperate with Cisco's PEAP supplicant. To use Cisco's PEAP supplicant, install the Install Wizard file after Windows XP Service Pack 1 or the Microsoft 802.1X supplicant for Windows 2000. Otherwise, Cisco's PEAP supplicant is overwritten by Microsoft's PEAP supplicant.
EAP-FAST	Installs the EAP-FAST supplicant included in the Install Wizard file. Installing the EAP-FAST supplicant enables you to create a profile in ACU that uses EAP-FAST authentication. If this option is not selected now and you later want to create a profile that uses EAP-FAST, you must run this installation program again and choose this option. Default: Checked Note The EAP-FAST supplicant is installed and can be enabled only on computers running Windows 2000 or XP. Note If you choose EAP-FAST on a Windows XP device, Windows XP's fast user switching feature is disabled.

Caveats

This section describes the resolved and open caveats for the software components in Install Wizard 1.8.

Resolved Caveats

The following caveats are resolved in the software components of Install Wizard release 1.8.

•CSCdz36298—Itronix GoBook does not fully wake up with 350

The 350 client adapter has 4.25.30 firmware version 4.25.30 and driver version 8.2.3. When the wakeup process is started from the GoBook keyboard, the device starts to wake up but then hangs at a black or a blank screen with the cursor stuck in the upper left corner.

•CSCed45715—Client shows that authentication was started after a successful MAC authentication through WDS

After a client was successfully authenticated (configured for open authentication with a WEP key), the ACU still shows that the authentication process has started. The status page shows that the client is authenticating. However, the client already got a DHCP IP address and can ping the wired network.

•CSCed56475—Manual PAC provisioning might fail on Novell networks

If the user imports a PAC from an EAP-FAST profile, the PAC can be saved as a private PAC (with the correct EAP-FAST settings). When the PAC is saved as a private PAC, it is not found by the login module because on Novell networks, the login module does not know the Windows user name. The login module must look for the PAC in the global area.

•CSCin07193—ACU crashes on removing the card while site survey/link test on

If the user clicks on the Start button of the Site Survey/Link Test window and removes the client adapter, the ACU fails.

•CSCsb52876—ACU does not send response to ACS with EAP-GTC authentication

ACU does not send a response to the ACS. The EAP conversation is not finished, and the failed attempts log is not updated.

•CSCsc14393—Client fails to add entry to ACS error log

When an EAP-FAST login fails, the client adapter does not add an entry to the ACS error log explaining why the login failed.

•CSCsc16865—Client profile reauthenticates for no reason

By design, the client adapter reauthenticates whenever the active profile is changed. However, it is possible to change the profile without realizing it. If you open the RF Network screen in ACU for the active profile and click OK, the profile may change even though you did not make any changes. For an active infrastructure profile, ACU shows the currently in-use channel in the Channel drop-down box. If this value is different than the one saved in the profile, clicking OK to exit the screen results in a profile change and causes the client to reauthenticate.

•CSCsc22249—WZC service exits during PEAP-GTC logon

With the PEAP-GTC supplicant code (CiscoEapPeap.dll) from Install Wizard version 1.6, the Wireless Zero Config service must close because of an unexpected problem. This issue is seen when the access point is controlled by a controller that is running release 3.0.107 or 3.1.105. This issue is not seen on an autonomous IOS access point.

•CSCsc30871—ACU release 6.3 EAP-FAST with WPA and TKIP takes over an hour to log on

The user sometimes must wait long periods to log on to the network when using ACU release 6.3 EAP-FAST with WPA and TKIP. These periods can be up to an hour.

•CSCsc83446—Client driver corrupted when running automated scripts

After running some automated scripts, the client cannot make successful WPA+PSK authentications.

•CSCsd34555—350 cannot pass traffic when AP is not in protection mode

If the access point is not in protection mode, the 350 client adapter cannot pass traffic.

•CSCsd43743—EAP-GTC sends wrong PEAP version after tunnel establishment

The PEAP-GTC module shipped with ACU sends the wrong PEAP version (0 instead of 1) after tunnel establishment. Authentication is not impacted. However, this issue affects the PEAP type that is reported by the ACS.

•CSCsd64229—350 client BSSID list element does not always contain WPA IE from beacon

An external supplicant is not always able to verify the WPA four-way handshake. The driver does not always provide the necessary verification information in the BSSID list element that corresponds with the access point that the client is currently associated to. In particular, the BSSID list element might not include the WPA IE from the last beacon or probe response. The supplicant fails the third message in the four-way handshake.

•CSCsd77780—Windows change password logon is hidden behind EAP authentication status window

The user has a Windows 2000 or Windows XP device with a 350 client. The user is prompted to change the Windows password every 30 days. The password change prompt window is hidden behind the EAP-FAST authentication status window. This issue also occurs when the user is authenticating with LEAP.

•CSCsh02841—A check of WPA capabilities returns error after first reboot

When the Secure Services Client (SSC) first queries the 350 after driver installation and reboot, the 350 returns an error. The SSC returns to default capabilities, which do not include WPA. Because WPA is not included, the SSC cannot connect to access point that uses WPA and TKIP. After a second reboot, a correct list is returned by the 350.
