WLAN disconnects - Failure Reason:The driver disconnected while associating

[idata]

G'Day from downunder

I work for Education Department in South Australia, I have imaged 30 x HP 210 G1 laptops using WDS / MDT.

I have connected approx. 25 to the wireless lan without any issues, but a couple of these laptops have these messages in the event viewer

WLAN AutoConfig service failed to connect to a wireless network.

Network Adapter: Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260

Interface GUID: [SNIP]

Connection Mode: Automatic connection with a profile

Profile Name: [SNIP]

SSID: [SNIP]

BSS Type: Infrastructure

Failure Reason:The driver disconnected while associating.

Wireless network association failed.

Network Adapter: Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260

Interface GUID: [SNIP]

Local MAC Address: AC:FD:CE:4D:23:99

Network SSID: [SNIP]

BSS Type: Infrastructure

Failure Reason: The driver disconnected while associating.

Dot11 Status Code: 2

These PCs when I manually click connect - Go "Connected" - "Identifying ..." then disconnect & generate the events above over & over & over

When I check the Radius server it has no issues, in fact it says the PC passed & were granted full access !!!

Anyone been thru. this & got a solution besides re-image the PCs

ng_sa,

This issue may be related to the type of encryption. Windows* connects the best using WPA2/AES security. We recommend that you first contact HP* and see if they have any updates that myght help you resolve the issue: http://support.hp.com/au-en/ HP Customer Support | HP® Customer Support

As a second option, you can use our latest drivers version (18.21.0) found in our Download Center: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/75439/Intel-Dual-Band-Wireless-AC-7260 Downloads for Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 make sure to chose the one that is right for your system architecture (32 or 64 bit) and version such as Window® 7, Window® 8.1 and Window®10

I have had a HP engineer on-site because they are concerned that we have so many with the same issue !!!

They told use to try (Intel) here

I currently have driver version 17.13.0.9 - dated 29/9/2014 - installed, but from your link I can only see 17.1.1531.1764 - dated 22/9/2015 - which seems very strange - these PCs must use Win. 7 64bit Enterprise.

How could 17.1.1531.1764 be newer than 17.13.0.9 ???

TIA

17.1.1531.1764 is a BlueTooth driver.

ng_sa,

There is a new driver that was recently launched. The version is 18.21.0 as informed by GattoNero. Check it out and let us know whether it worked for you.

This is exactly why I asked the questions I did in the OP !!!

Remember I already have 80% of these PCs working fine & I'm wasting a lot of time on this now

When I right click "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260" in device manager & click Drive Tab the details are

Provider : Intel

Date : 29/09/2014

Version 17.13.0.9

This is the same for working & non-working PC !!!

So I cant see how this has anything to do with the driver as I'm using WDS/ MDT to image & I have used it to re-image the PCs
