discussions.apple.com — My friend and I figured out how to get 802.1x working on a macbook pro, which was previously not working for anyone. Not a complicated process at all, but was necessary for anyone with a new Apple Macbook Pro on most campuses and workplaces.

I thought Macs were the Greatest computers ever. This must be a hoax. The Mac never has any issues, it is the perfect computer.

@Inkhead Your An Idiot, Maybe you should google 802.1x before you open your mouth FOOL!

What a dumb comment. It's a waste of Kevin's servers.

In general (NOT for this problem) but I notice some other posters who had problems getting their macs to work in the office... when entering a hex key password (say like a dlink router) just put a "$" before any password when the mac asks you for the wireless network password. Works like a charm ;-) (for that issue) not the 802.1x

Seriously. Inkhead is the one that got it wrong. 802.1x is a type of authentication used in 802.11x networks. Stop modding misinformation up.

Gawd, PC people are such dicks... cause nothing ever goes wrong with PCs. Gimme a break.Anyway, we just tried this solution on my friends MBP and its working fine now. It worked fine before, just not with certain LEAP wireless points. So lets see, by the time we even realized there was an issue, it had already been fixed... gee, that happened exactly ZERO times for me on Windows.
