[Samba] Problem using roaming profiles with wireless clients
Hello, I have a Linux server acting as a Windows PDC and we're using roaming profiles. Wired clients connect fine and upload/download their profiles. Wireless clients do not. I also have RADIUS running on the Linux server and the Wireless AP is configured to authenticate against the RADIUS server as well, using the windows login information. I enabled verbose debugging on the RADIUS server, so I could see exactly what is happening. When the wireless clients try to login to the domain and download their roaming profiles, the client will hang at the login sceen for a few minutes, then report that it could not connect to the server hosting the roaming profile. Only after I click "ok" does the client send the username and password to the RADIUS server for authentication. The problem seems to be timing, so I was hoping someone may know if and how I can configure the XP clients to bring up it's wireless interface before attempting to download it's roaming profile. I know this isn't a samba issue, but was hoping someone might know a Windows fix.
