There should be no driver required as Cisco leap supports OS X
Q. What client operating systems does Cisco LEAP support?
A. Cisco LEAP supports numerous client operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, Linux, DOS, and Windows CE.
So this is really a setup/ connection issue. This is professional grade equipment so is it already setup and configured on a big wlan or is this really just you? This is a very complicated piece of equipment. You can configure it with a pc connected by an ethernet cable using internet explorer. Or you can use a command line utility. You should be able to access the cli using ssh which is built-in to tiger. Does your macbook have a serial port. if so you can use a RJ-45 serial DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable74.

Okay but this laptop doesn't have tiger it has safari. I didn't see leap as an option to use. We use WPA-PSK with TKIP and I didn't even see that option for securing the wireless. Please forgive my questions if they appear stupid but this is really new to me.
Thank you for your patience.

Well after all that work I found out that it was the AP. Boy did I learn from this one, I should have tested another AP in the building. I sure appreciate your help.
