HP Envy 15t-J100 using BCM4352HMB 802.11ac 2x2 WiFi driver version 6.30.223.221 on Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit.
I get an error trying to connect to my work wireless network with "Can't connect to this network." using WPA2-Enterprise authentication.
The network is shown in the list of available networks and prompts for my credentials (UserID & Password), so it is attempting to connect to it.
A co-worker next to me has no problems with Win8.1, but has a 802.11n chipset (not -ac).
I connect fine to my home network (802.11n) using WEP protocols.
I saw a post that it may be a that this driver tries to initally connect with COMPUTER name instead of USER? It suggested downgrading to a Win7 64-bit but I'm not finding a driver that I'm willing to try.
In the network setup (802.1x Settings), I've set SPECIFY AUTHENTICATION MODE = "User Authentication" without success.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Solved the problem by installing the Win7-specific driver version 6.30.223.9 (sp64737).
I can now connect to WPA2-Enterprise through Cisco Access Points.
Driver is here:

Links I've found that may pertain to this issue? The identified issue is fairly old (Oct 2012) but may still be in effect?

I've found reference on other sites to a Broadcomm BCM4352HMB driver ver 6.30.223.227 in HP update SP65580.exe, but I can't find this driver update (which is newer than .221 that I've found) on the Driver Updates here.
