Vista wireless interface and Media unauthenticated   
Hi,

I am currently testing wifi compatibility on Windows Vista.
To connect our Wifi adapter to the network we use our own
application and supplicant.  Our driver blocks windows from
changineg the driver state and we have our own OIDs to associate
and authenticate.  We use IPHelper to catch IP configuration.

This all works fine on XP but does not work on Vista.

On Vista this works great for the radio, and my wifi interface become 
"Enabled" in Network Connection Panel, but DHCP never succeed to give me 
an IP configuration.
On the command line, by typing "ipconfig", I can see my wifi interface 
hanging in media state "Media unauthenticated".  Well sometimes if the 
ap is WEP only it works after a long
delay but if the the security is WPA or WPA2 we never get an IP
address.  It also seems that if I set a static IP on the interface
then IpHelper never reports the static IP.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
