Intel Wireless Adapter Support for 802.11k, 802.11v, and 802.11r

RSaku — Tue, 19 Apr 2016 03:19:19 GMT

Hi, referring to the following articles on support for 802.11k, 802.11v, and 802.11r :

https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT202628 https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT202628

Is there a list of Intel Wireless Adapters and their hardware support of these protocols?

It would be very helpful for Wireless Network Administrators!

Regards,

Rowan

Simply put, I would like to enable these protocols on the Wireless Networks we manage to improve the overall experience of our Wireless Users, for both Laptop and Mobile Devices.

"we would like to know what kind of information you need for each of these protocols"

Which Intel Wireless Chipsets support 802.11k and which versions of Intel Software Drivers are required?
Which Intel Wireless Chipsets support 802.11v and which versions of Intel Software Drivers are required?
Which Intel Wireless Chipsets support 802.11r and which versions of Intel Software Drivers are required?
Any other Intel recommended settings (Client or Wireless Controller end) for each of the protocols above.

"if there is any particular reason you need these specific pieces of information"

As per the first sentence, to confidently support all our Users and Devices on the Wireless Networks we manage.

Regards,

Rowan

Asies,

The Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265, Intel® Dual Band Wireless-N 7265 and the Intel® Wireless-N 7265 are compliant with the protocol 802.11w as you can confirm it here: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-briefs/dual-band-wireless-ac-7265-brief.pdf Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 - PRODUCT BRIEF page # 2 in the part that mentions '' Technical Specifications'' you're going to find it under General and also under Security on the same page.

Please, let us know if you have any more questions.

Thanks Alkei for your Quick Response.!!!

I am the part of Cisco QA Wifi Team and was looking for Wifi clients supports 11r 11w 11k. This thread was helpful to me for successfully testing 11w with intel 7260 cards

Testing 11r looks doubtful and is not working with wpa2-FT-PSK.

Thread 8: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-briefs/dual-band-wireless-ac-7265-brief.pdf Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 - PRODUCT BRIEF

Says 11r is supported with windows 10

IS 11r supported?, if yes, do i need to install some other patches, ? I am using Latest driver 19.1

Appreciate your help

Intel Team,

Intimated in the other intel thread that with latest intel driver 11r is working , now i am testing 11k with 11k supported wlc/AP, i am using intel 7265 (windows) expectation is should work, i see AP is broadcasting beacon with spectrum mamnagement nit set and (and all required IE like Power contraint country code etc) I dont see the same spectrum managment bit set either in any probe Request or assoc request. Looks Like 11k is not supported. do u have any open bug or u want me to open the bug

Let me know how do u want to give a go ahead.

I have become an indirect tester for your chip already tested 11r and 11w with all cisco latest WLC/AP !!!!

I am sure we continue the same for supported porotocols

Team,

One more request do have any tool just like WL utility supported by broadcom chips to interact with driver at Low level, Windows supported interface gives a high level and very Low parametrers to test.

Insert the following text at the end of 7.3.1.4: -------> 802.11k

A STA sets the Radio Measurement subfield in the Capability Information field to 1 when the MIB attribute

dot11RadioMeasurementEnabled is true, and sets it to 0 otherwise
