Error or Problem: WEV_EXCLUDE_LIST_REASON_802_11_AUTH_FAILURE
I have noticed this error after unloading Dell Inspiron n411z or 14z original or factory drivers and loading Intel ProSet Wireless drivers from Dell drivers siteImage may be NSFW.

It has taken me long hours and days to find a workaround for this problem. There are only few citations for this type of error or problem on the INTERNET.
This problem has been tested to repeat when I connect to multiple WiFi Access Points / Wireless Routers. Hence it is not an isolated case to a single router or model.
Possible reasons:
- The driver does not support WPA2 wireless encryption
Workaround:
- I have changed the wireless security setting on the router to WPA from WPA2 (AES/TKIP)
- Then this error disappears
Question:
- Why doesn't the driver support WPA2? If it does, why does this error occur.
- How can one use WPA2 on this driver and hardware. Since WPA2 is superior and more secure than WPA.
