MacBook Pro and PEAP authenication
Well for the past 2 weeks we have been trying to get the MacBook Pro’s to connect to a Cisco Wireless access point. The only problem is the access points are configured to use PEAP for authenication. But for what ever reason PEAP does not work on the MacBook Pro. It works on all PowerPC based Macs, but none of the Intel ones.
There are several people with the same problem discussing it here in the MacBook Pro discussion forum on Apple’s website.
The University of Iowa has a page on it as well.
I have talked to Apple on the phone a couple of times, and they did now know anything, but I credit that with the fact that I think they were level 1 people. I did finally get something from a higher support level and they wanted some captures done and sent to them so I did that. Hopefully they will get it fixed soon, as this is a little annoying.
We have found a solution to this problem. The driver from the new intel mac mini allows the macbook to connect to PEAP and TTLS wireless networks,(unfortunatly, not LEAP networks at this time.)
I have setup a website with instructions and a link to download the updated driver here:
