Long story short, some Intel drivers don't come with 802.1x compliance, so they had to release new drivers with 802.1x compatibility.

Drivers affected Windows 7 through 8.1

First you have to check in Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center and click on change adapter settings. Location may vary depending on which version of Windows you may have. Look for the Wireless Connection one, it will indicate which card you have. Or if you want to all fancy, you can look it up in the command prompt using the command "ipconfig /all" without the quotation marks. Once you have that information you can take a look at the list here, which has been the most common wireless cards that have been affected by this wireless issue. They all point to Intel's download center page.

If your Intel card is not on the list and are still experiencing issues, you can go to the Intel's Driver Update Utility and it will find the best driver update with your specific Intel wireless card.

If you have an Atheros or Broadcom, you will need to take it in to the walk up support in the green library and have them take a look at it - unfortunately they didn't have any documentation about fixing that, yet.
