I'm seeing an error when using SSL over wireless connections. I'm using
a java SSL solution, and the error being reported is "Bad Record MAC"
(this is reported by java).
This only happens with large data transfers (such as loading a large
image file), and only happens with the wireless connections. If I
connect the same computer via wired, and run the same tests, the
problem never occurs.
To complicate things further, I can't reproduce the error. It just
happens at random. But reloading the data will usually work on a 2nd
attempt, although sometimes it fails on 2nd or 3rd or 4th, but
eventually goes thru.
In call cases, this is using Cisco 1231 Aironet WAPs, and Motion
Computing M1400 tablets with Intel 2200BG wireless chip. OS is XP SP2,
and the Intel driver version is whatever is the August 2004 release
(8.??).
Anyone have a clue what might cause this, or if not a clue to the
cause, any advice on how to try to track it down?
