We're a Cisco shop and haven't had much of an issue with Windows 8. The
main issue was that Win8 (and later versions of 7) had 802.1w turned on,
which our code level didn't accept. We upgraded our code and things
started working. The other problem we had, like you was a case of
"sticky", the system tried the network and automatically failed since it
required a password. We had the student "forget" the network and go
through the standard wireless set up for Windows 7 and everything worked
fine.

The only issue that we have had is that many of the clients have taken several cycles of trying the automatic connection, authenticate, it fails, forget, try again. They have ranged from first time success through a bunch of repetitions and suddenly are OK -- actually quite similar to what we have seen with Mac OS 10.7 and 10.8.

Many of these manufacturers are shipping drivers from Feb. 2012, which means they were tested on consumer preview only. Of course some manufacturers have updates and some don't. Some we have to go to other sources to get drivers for. To remedy this, our only option is to hook in a USB wireless adapter with good drivers until the proper driver updates are cleared. At this point the blame appears on us because those people can connect to home networks, Starbucks, etc. We are going to purchase a few wireless cards to go in our multimedia checkout system for desperate cases.

If a student puts their credentials in, the process fails before it hits Radius. I check all the logs and nothing has gone through that username. I have cleared the wireless profile in netsh and made sure it was forgotten in the GUI. I have also cleared off all certificates. Does anyone know where Windows saves 802.1x credentials so I can make sure to nuke it as well?
