The wireless suppression was enabled at 08:39:24, after wired is connected and ConnStore file is updated.ģ27 3 SYSTEM PulseSecureService.exe 8021xAccessMethod p3168 t1740 8021xAccessMethod_win.cpp:2098 - '8021xSuppression' setWirelessSuppression setAdapterState succeeded to Disable Adapter: dd0e9c38-d1d6-487d-acb8-e99f4b97190e. In the below logs,we can see an example where Pulse suppressed wireless adapter as expected when wired is connected, enabled it when wired is disconnected but could not re-enable it back again because WlanEnumInterfaces does not list the wireless adapter.This example shows Pulse's wireless suppression is working as expected and we can suppress and enable the wireless as required.We cannot enable it only when some third party software/driver has disabled the wireless interface or makes the adapter to go into a bad state. Whenever there is a network change or IP address change the query is made to detect all network adapters connected to the machine.When Pulse Client gets a notification of Wired connection, it will disable the wireless adapter.

Pulse keeps a track of the wireless adapter (which it disables) in the connection store so that it can re-enable it back. When the wired interface is disconnected,Pulse Client will re-enable the wireless adapter which it had disabled when the wired interface was connected.
