I'm troubleshooting a problem with excessive disassociations and reassociations even on fixed, immobile wireless clients. The wireless network is lightweight with a 4402-25 controller and upgraded 1200-series APs. My client is an integrated Intel 2200BG wireless NIC with driver version 9.0.3.9, Odyssey Client and PEAP-GTC.
Output from a 'debug dot11 all' on the controller reveals this information...

This type of activity occurs regularly with the client cycling through various APs on the network with varying RSSI and SNR values. Very puzzling! Any ideas what might be happening?
Thanks in advance!
