My university network uses WPA2 Enterprise security for its wireless. I followed their directions and everytime I try to connect, I get the error:

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport: Error: start8021XLegacyAPI() failed

I looked at the configuration, and its exactly the same as my Albook which works fine.

I am wondering if it has to do with the macbooks hardware and osx? It connects to my router at my apartment fine, and that uses wep128.

It connects occasionally but most of the time it fails.

Here is output from the console log showing it failing a couple times and then connecting:

The machine already came with 10.4.8 so I didn't install that. I have also tried creating a new admin user and that failed too.

Any ideas?
