Ever since updating to 10.11.1 beta I cannot connect to any WPA2 Enterprise networks. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a fix????
Got a tip for us?

Something I recall from the seeing the release notes for the developer betas thanks to some sites I frequent:
"When negotiating a TLS/SSL connection with Diffie-Hellman key exchange,
OS X El Capitan requires a 1024-bit group or larger.
OS X El Capitan will not connect to a server that allows negotiation with a 512-bit or smaller group.
These connections include:
⁃ Secure Web (HTTPS)
⁃ Enterprise Wi-Fi (802.1X)
⁃ Secure e-mail (IMAP, POP, SMTP)
⁃ Printing servers (IPPS)"
Your Enterprise network security may simply be insufficient as far as El Capitan is concerned.

SOLVED!!!! I just had to reset my PRAM. Follow these steps:
1) Shut down computer
2) Turn on computer
3) Hold down command, option, p, and r keys
4) Release keys after power on sound and apple logo appears
As soon as I logged in my mac immediately logged into my school's WPA2 Enterprise network
Will try it tomorrow at the office where I had the problem with wpa2 network. hope it works as its the only reason I can't update to El Cap
Thought it was El Cap specific problem as I had no problems on Yosemite.
This morning though I clean installed Yosemite and had the same issue connecting to WPA2 Enterprise network as I had on El Cap.
Then I found the following solution somewehere online and it worked for fixing it on Yosemite so perhaps it also works for El Cap.
Open Finder > Choose Go From the menu at the top of the screen > Click on Computer > Double Click on Macintosh HD > Double Click on Library > Double Click on Preferences > Click once on the file called "SystemConfirguration" > CMD+DEL the file > Enter your password > restart.

Thanks, Just reset My Pram which is apparently short-term ram (Storage) This fixed the issue I was having where it brought up a screen when I tried to connect that said I couldn't connect to the WPA2 network and it wanted me to run diagnostics. Basically just powered down help command, option, p, and r as I booted up my MacBook. It works! I'm running MacOS Sierra - version 10.12.6
I am at a college and my wifi worked everywhere besides at the campus.... the technician here didn't know what was wrong and basically told me it wasn't a problem with the network so basically, it was my laptop. Either way, I'm beginning to learn that A, I always have to fix problems myself, and B, that 90% of mac problems are solved with fancy reboots haha.... Good luck!
