2200BG with WPA Problems
I am trying to connect to a Cisco Aironet 1200 series AP with no success. The access point is setup with WPA - Enterprise authentication, TKIP encryption, LEAP authentication type using Domain username/password credentials. This is all setup under the Intel client. I am not able to connect at all. I know the AP is setup correctly because I have a Cisco card that connects fine when using this configuration. I AM SURE IT IS A INTEL CLIENT PROBLEM.
If anyone else is / has experienced the same problem, PLEASE reply.
Thanks,

Got this same problem ... well sort of. My PC Clients keep dropping connection. All PC are D610 with Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network. And in a conference room with four (4) Latitude D610, only one can connect at a time. I am trying to connect to WRT54G using WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption. Going to try the following:
1) Force to 802.11b only - no g for client & router,
2) Trying AES encryption,
3) Setting CTS Protection Mode to Auto, and
4) Last resort, try a firmware update to the router.
LinkSys said to use WEP, but that is too vulnerable. However, I might do WEP with MAC access filter enabled. Probably, take both WRT54G back to the store if WEP is only solution. Bought WRT54G because it was supposed to be Centrino Verified. Now that means nothing to me since I am wasting so much time troubleshooting.

Make sure that the Cisco Extensions are turned OFF on the AP.

One of the points to this whole thing is so we CAN run Cisco Extensions. Intel says they support them, so why should I have to turn them off just to make it work?

• Aironet Extensions—Enable this setting if there are only Cisco Aironet devices on your wireless
LAN.
This is what the 12.3.2 Cisco manual says about the Aironet Extensions.
Good luck

I am not saying that you can't use them. I am just trying to say to turn them off and see if that helps. I personally don't have any intel cards in here, we only use the Dell cards and have Aironet extensions off since we see no gain on having them on.

Yeah... you're right. Our Cisco 1231G Access Points qualify as Cisco Aironet Devices. The Intel 2200BG supports Cisco Extensions as noted on their web site, and Cisco's web site. So can you explain to me why, if they are supported on both the AP (obviously) and the client adapter, why I can't use them?

Thanks!
We tried that already, and when contacting Dell for support were obviously scolded for not using the approved drivers. We have contacted Cisco Systems and they have been in contact with Intel to determine the problem. Hopefully they will have an answer tomorrow.

When (hopefully not if!) you sort this out, please post back with the solution. Someone else will surely encounter the problem, so adding to the "collective wisdom" will benefit them.
