Important Notes

ConflictbetweenCiscoSecurityAgentVersion5.0andtheInstallWizardforthe CB21AG or PI21AG

If you have Cisco Security Agent (CSA) version 5.0 installed on your computer and you attempt to run
release 3.5 of the Install Wizard (setup.exe) for the Cisco Aironet CB21AG or PI21AG wireless client,
you might encounter one of two conditions that prevents the completion of software installation.

When you run setup.exe, the CSA opens the following dialog box (see Figure 1).

Figure 1 Cisco Security Agent Dialog Box

OL-12267-01

Release Notes for Cisco Aironet 802.11a/b/g Client Adapters (CB21AG and PI21AG) Install Wizard 3.5

Important Notes

The following are the two conditions:

• If you click No, you are instructing the CSA to disallow devcon.exe of the client installation

software from executing its tasks. The installation then appears to stall. The installation does not
complete, and the computer must be rebooted. To avoid this behavior, disable the CSA before
installing the wireless client software. This condition is tracked by CSCsg83510.

• If you click Yes, you are instructing the CSA to allow devcon.exeof the client installation software

to execute its tasks. However, the CSA might block cmd.exe from executing without notice. The
installation then appears to stall, and the computer must be rebooted. This condition is tracked by
CSCsh16031.

Mismatchbetween HPDC5 100PCI BusController andPCI KeyCacheRegister on PI21AG Chip

A mismatch exists between the HP DC5100 PCI bus controller and the PCI key cache register on the
chip of the PI21AG. The key cache uses a 48-bit register in which the PI21AG sends out two writes on
the PCI bus back to back (DWORD and WORD). The controller on the device cannot handle two
consecutive write cycles on the bus, which causes a fatal error on the PCI bus.

You should slow down the write operations to the key cache by performing a register read before and
after a register write. To slow down the write operations, install registry key "singleWriteKC=1." The
path of the "singleWriteKC=1" registry key is the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BF
C1-08002bE10318}

You should not see any system degradation or performance hits, as the key cache is only changed every
few minutes. An additional read before the second write cycle only lasts a few micro seconds in the PCI
space.

Installing the CB21AG Intermediate Driver Manually

In some instances, the installation of the CB21AG software might not work as expected because the
intermediate driver might not have installed correctly. In this situation, the installer might not detect this
condition, and the rest of the software will not function correctly.

The CB21AG intermediate driver must be installed manually. To install the intermediate driver
manually, follow these steps:

Step 1 Insert the client adapter.
Step 2 Click Network Connections in the Start > Settings menu in Windows XP, or right click

My Network Places in Windows 2000. Find the CB21AGg instance.

Step 3 Right click the Cisco CB21AG instance, and left click Properties.
Step 4 Choose the Install option and then add a new service.
Step 5 Click Have disk. Go to the \windows\system32 directory and choose wsimd.inf.
Step 6 Select Wireless Intermediate Driver and click OK. The wireless IMD is bound to the adapter.
Step 7 Reboot system.

OL-12267-01

Incompatibility between PACs Created by ACS Version 3.x.xx and
ACS Version4.0.xx

PACsthatare created by ACSversion3.x.xx are not compatible with ACS version 4.0.xx. Client stations
must import new PACs. If you select auto-provisioning, new PACs will automatically be generated and
used. However, if you select manual provisioning, you must manually export new PACs to the client
stations.

If a user wants to authenticate to ACS version 4.0.xx and version 3.x.xx at different times, both PACs
must remain on the client station. The ADU is capable of automatically selecting the appropriate PAC.

However, if you experiences authentication failures after upgrading the software, delete all the PACs
provisioned from the 3.x.xx server.

Conflict with Third-Party Supplicants

When using release 3.5, you might encounter a conflict with third-party supplicants (such as the Juniper
Odyssey)that causes the Cisco clientadapter to lose connection. If you encounter such a conflict, disable
third-party supplicants.

Important Notes

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.

Client Adapter Software Compatibility

Caution Cisco Aironet CB21AG and PI21AG client adapter software is incompatible with other Cisco Aironet

client adapter software. The Aironet Desktop Utility (ADU) must be used with CB21AG and PI21AG
cards, and the Aironet Client Utility (ACU) must be used with all other Cisco Aironet client adapters.

Installing the Novell Client

If you are going to use the Novell Client, be sure to install it on your computer prior to installing the
client adapter software.

Enabling CCKM Fast Secure Roaming

OL-12267-01

If you want to enable CCKM on the client adapter, you must choose the WPA/WPA2/CCKM security
option, regardless of whether you wantthe adapter to use WPAorWPA2. The configurationoftheaccess
point to which your client adapter associates determines whether CCKM will be used with 802.1x, WPA,
or WPA2.

Release Notes for Cisco Aironet 802.11a/b/g Client Adapters (CB21AG and PI21AG) Install Wizard 3.5

Important Notes

Access Point Setting for LEAP or EAP-FAST Authentication

Access points must be set for both Network-EAP and open authentication in order to associate to
CB21AG and PI21AG client adapters running LEAP with WPA/WPA2/CCKM or EAP-FAST.

EAP-FAST Fails When Access Point Configured as Local RADIUS Server

The client adapter fails to authenticate using EAP-FAST when the access point is running Cisco IOS
Release 12.3(2)JA2 and is configured as a local RADIUS server. The following message appears:
“Unable to EAP-FAST authenticate the wireless user in the specified amount of time. Network
infrastructure might be down.”

GINA Error on Bootup

If your computer ever experiences a GINA error on bootup, boot to the safe mode command prompt.
Then copy the msgina.dll filein the WinNT\System32 directory (Windows 2000) or Windows\System32
directory (Windows XP) over to a file named cscogina.dll. The copy command enables you to copy a
source file (msgina.dll) to a destination file (cscogina.dll) within the same directory.

Reboot Required When Uninstalling ACU and ADU

Caution When you uninstall ACU and ADU, be sure to 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 and stored PAC files are deleted if you use the Uninstall the previous installation option on
the Previous Installation Detected Install Wizard window 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.

Profiles for PC-Cardbus Cards

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.

OL-12267-01

New and Changed Information

Auto Profile Selection Enables Scan of Wireless Modes in Auto-Selected Profiles

When you enable auto profile selection, the client adapter ignores the selected profile’s wireless mode
setting and scans the wireless modes specified by all the profiles in the auto profile selection list for an
available network. With this method, the client does not need to disassociate or to change the current
profile while looking for networks in other profiles.

ASTU Exit Option

The Exit option on the Aironet System Tray Utility (ASTU) pop-up menu closes both ASTU and ADU.

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 ADU, 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 conflictbetweenADU and WindowsXPwireless network settings. Simply ignore the Windows icon
and use the ASTU icon to check the status of your client adapter’s wireless connection.

Installing a Microsoft Hot Fix for Group Policy Delay

If you want to use the Group Policy Delay parameter on the Profile Management (Security) window in
ADU, you must install a Microsoft hot fix on computers running Windows 2000. The hot fix is
incorporated into Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later.

The Group Policy Delay parameter enables you to specify how much time elapses before the Windows
logon process starts Group Policy, a Windows feature used by administrators to specify configuration
options for groups of users. The objective is to delay the start of Group Policy until wireless network
authentication occurs. Follow the steps below to obtain and install the hot fix.

Note Youmust be a registered Cisco customer and log into Cisco.com in order to download the hot fix. If you

are unable to access the hot fix from Cisco.com, contact Microsoft Support to obtain it. The Windows
2000 support page provides the contact information:

Caveats

Caveats

Open Caveats

This section describes the open and resolved caveats for the software components in this release.

The following caveats are not resolved in CB21AG and PI21AG client adapter software release 3.5:

• CSCsg99156—PI21AG does not respond to identity requests if 802.11a is used

The wireless client might lose connectivity during roaming. When this condition occurs, the ADU
prompts for a username and password. This condition occurs only when the user connects in the

802.11a band and when the user uses the supplicant that is bundled with the ADU.

• CSCsg99350—CB21AG client does not follow data-rate setting on WLC

The CB21AG client does not follow the data-rate setting on the WLC. The client uses the 1-Mbps
and 2-Mbps data rate for 802.11 data packets even though these rates were disabled on the WLC.

• CSCsd80097—CB21AG G channel problem with Compaq hardware

A CB21AG client that is running release 2.6, 3.0, or 3.5 experiences roaming inconsistencies with
the G rates that are enabled if the client is installed on a Compaq NX 6110. These roaming
inconsistencies are only seen on this model PC. This model laptop does not get the proper cardbus
controller driver installed when the user initializes the system software setup.

Workaround: Go to the Hewlett-Packard site and download sp30219. This service pack has the
driver installation program for the necessary cardbus controller.

• CSCse05471—The CB21 client adapter cannot pass the authentication phase with a Traditional

Chinese username
This only occurs on a machine with the Traditional Chinese language pack and a 2-byte username.

When configuring the EAP-FAST authentication with Machine PAC, the STAUT failed to roam
between access points.

• CSCse37717—EAP-FAST roaming fails with machine PAC

Workaround: Uncheck the session resume check box in the ACS 4.0 RADIUS server.

• CSCsf96751—CB21AG client does not function properly with PC network bridge feature

Network bridging on a PC with the CB21AG client and a wired NIC initially allows traffic to pass
from end to end. However, if the PC is rebooted, the network bridge does not start because the
CB21AG does not associate to the AP.

Workaround: Disable the network bridge, reassociate the CB21AG with the AP, and create the
network bridge again. Do not reboot the PC.

• CSCsg65164—Authentication timeout for EAP-FAST occurs after 60 seconds

The ADU sends an EAPOL-start message after 30 seconds. However, the login window does not
appear.The ADU sends a secondEAPOL-start messageafter 30seconds. Afterthis second message,
the login window appears. It takes 60 seconds for the login window to appear, even when the
Authentication Timeout Value is set to 30 seconds.

• CSCsg78668—Compaq EVO N1020V laptop hangs during installation of CB21AG

A Compaq (HP) EVO N1020V laptop that is running Windows XP might stall while running the
CB21AG Install Wizard. This problem might affect other laptops from other vendors.

OL-12267-01

Caveats

• CSCsg99322—CB21AG client does not roam smoothly between two lightweight access points

A CB21AG client does not roam smoothly between two lightweight access points. If a client
associated with a lightweight access point that has an RSSI of –90 dBm but then tries to associate
with another lightweight access point that has an RSSI of –45 dBm, the client does not roam to the
new AP for between 5 and 10 seconds. During that delay, the CB21AG client sends out a probe
request to which the second lightweight access point responds. However, the CB21AG client does
not send out an association request.

• CSCsg30531—ADU does not recognize EAP-TLS certificate

Although the client is in the Windowsdomain and has the correct certificate for EAP-TLS, the user
sees the following message:

No machine certificates were found on this computer. Please select a different EAP option.

• CSCsh05264—CASSU does not install if the systemdrive\temp folder is not created

The Cisco Aironet Site Survey Utility (CASSU) does not install under Program Files > Cisco
Aironet because the systemdrive\temp\ folder was not created with the initial installation from
Setup.exe. Lenovo T60 laptops with Windows XP Pro, SP2, experienced this condition. However,
Lenovo T60 with Windows 2000, SP4; Acer TM2350 with WindowsXP Pro, SP2; and Lenovo R51
with Windows XP Pro, SP2, did not experience this condition.

• CSCsh13357—ADU power save setting does not work

The ADU power-save setting does not take effect. The wireless sniffer trace shows that the client
is still sending null data power-save frames when the adapter is configured for CAM.

Workaround: Change the default Windows registry key for sleep mode from 2 to 0.

Resolved Caveats

The following caveats have been resolved in release 3.5:

• CSCsd02837—CB21AG does not send reassociation request when mobile

• CSCsd80390—The “No machine certificates were found on your computer” message is misleading

• CSCsd86612—Password window pops up before ACS sends out “Access Reject” message

• CSCse05451—Advanced Status window shows wrong messages when ADU is disassociated

The CB21AG client does not send a reassociation request with CCKM keys when it moves from one
controller to another controller. The client sends a reassociation request with CCKM keys only when
it roams back to the controller to which it was first attached.

When using the Cisco AIR-CB21AG-A-K9 802.11/a/b/g client adapters and running ADU 2.6.0.1,
if you try to select ADU clients using EAP-TLS authentication, you see a message stating that no
machine certificates were found on your computer, even though the application automatically finds
the machine certificates. Also, if you select Use machine Information for Domain Logon under
EAP-TLS configuration, you get the same error message. This message will not cause any problem
and should only be seen once.

When entering the incorrect password for EAP-FASTand PEAP-GTC authentication, the ADUpops
up the Password window before the ACS sends out an "Access Reject" message to the client. As a
result, no "Auth-Fail" messages are logged in ACS.

The ADU does not clear status data from the Advanced Status window fields when the client is not
associated.

27

Caveats

• CSCse25438—The Advanced Status window of the ADU application shows the wrong SSID

information
In the ADU application, if you click Current Status and Advanced, you will notice that the

Network Name (SSID) field displays only the first two characters of the SSID in the Advanced
Status window. This happens when the SSID is a long string of characters with white spaces in
between. The window wraps the string around into multiple lines and shows only one line.

• CSCse25451—Profile displays are inconsistent after profile names are changed

After you change a profile name, the profile name in Auto Selected Profiles is different from the
profile name in the Profile Management window and the Current Status window.

• CSCsg94210—RSSI of PI21AG is lower than RSSI of CB21AG on 5-GHz channels

Forsome client adapters, the RSSI (receivedsignal strength indication)of a PI21AGis 20to 30 dBm
lower on 5-GHz channels than the RSSI of a CB21AG because of an antenna cable issue. The client
adapters that are impacted by this condition are in the serial number range FOC1001N1JY through
FOC1049N3R8.

• CSCse49324—CB21AG retransmission mechanism has problems with RRM in an LWAPPnetwork

In some environments, the CB21AG client fails to roam and loses network connection. The client
might take up to 5 seconds or longer to reconnect.

The CB21AG client can stay associated to one access point longer than it should before it roams to
another access point with better signal properties. In addition, sometimes client probe requests are
not acknowledged by the access point that the client is supposed to roam to.

To force faster roaming before the CB 21AG client signal becomes too weak for recognition by an
access point, you can use the Alternative Value for each of the following registry parameters.

Note The behavior that is associated with CSCse49324 is not typical of the majority of network

installations. You should adjust the following registry parameters only as a last resort.

–

Registry Parameter 1
Name: HwTxRetries
Range: 1-15
Default Value: 4
Alternative Value: 3
Comments: This parameter controls the number of transmit retries by the hardware.

–

Registry Parameter 2
Name: SwTxRetryScale
Range: 0-15
Default Value: 6
Alternative Value: 2
Comments: This parameter controls the number of transmit retries by the software. It is a
multiplier scalar factor of the number of all reties.

–

Registry Parameter 3
Name: maxConsTxFail
Range: 0-256
Default Value: 256
Alternative Value: 2
Comments: This parameter indicates the number of frames that are dropped before the client
attempts to roam to another access point.

28

To adjust one or more of these registry parameters, do the following:
