### Known Issues

#### Administrator Tool Update

EAP-FAST A-ID Groups: The process to add an Authority Identifier (A-ID) to an A-ID group has changed from what is currently described in the Intel PROSEet/Wireless help and user guide. Once an A-ID group has been selected, the A-IDs are extracted from the PACs on the A-ID group server. The list of A-IDs is automatically populated instead of the administrator adding them manually.

#### Novell Client(TM) for Windows XP/2000

The current version of Intel PROSet/Wireless Software is compatible with Novell Client(TM) for Windows XP/2000 versions 4.90 SP2 only.

Single Sign On: The Microsoft Windows log on user name and password is set for a Pre-Logon profile using the user name and password from the Novell login screen. Verify that the “Use prelogon feature for wireless networks”is selected on the Novell Client(TM) for Windows XP/2000 login screen.

#### Roaming Identity Issues

- A Roaming Identity must be used when either the "Prompt Each Time I Connect" or "Use the Following" is selected as the credentialing method in a PEAP or TTLS profile.
- When connecting to a profile with the "Prompt Each Time I Connect "credential method, the Roaming Identity label is dimmed. However, you are able to change the roaming identity.

#### Using Machine Certificates on Pre-Logon

Administrative rights are required to access a machine certificate. Therefore, a restricted user is prevented from using profiles that use a machine certificate.

#### Using User Certificate on Pre-Logon

A user needs to obtain a user certificate valid for the network before using pre-logon connect.

#### Recommended Power Configuration

A client disassociates upon moving to hibernation mode when the following conditions are met:

- A client is connected to an 802.1x profile
- The Power Management setting in the Adapter Settings is configured to "Allow the device to bring the computer out of standby"
- In Windows, the system is configured to move automatically from standby to hibernation in the Power Option Properties

The recommendation is to set the system hibernate power option to “Never” when the computer is on AC power.
