Under certain low signal conditions or areas of high data traffic,
iPad's running IOS 5.1.1 or later could disconnect from the network
randomly. This issue seems to be device and OS specific. Enterasys will
continue investigating this problem to identify the root cause and
propose potential solutions. The issue has not been replicated on other
OSes or platforms at this time.
Solution
Upgrade the controller to the next firmware release (8.11.08.0002 or 8.21.02.0063), or higher.
