802.1x Supplicant

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

It's strange that your client re-enables the 802.1x checkbox on restarts.
What supplicant are you using in the place of the Microsoft one? You could
disable the Microsoft supplicant by stopping the WZCSVC service (net stop
wzcsvc). To stop the service across reboots, I would change it's startup
type to manual through services.msc (Start->Run->services.msc).

Specifically regarding the checkbox, I'm not certain about this but have you
tried monitoring the registry to see if there is a change when you
check/uncheck the "Enable network access control using 802.1x"? I did a 2min
search on support.microsoft.com for something along these lines but found
little other than the UI approach. There are several utilities to monitor
registry calls (regmon for example).
