10.3.0 was the earliest OS X release to natively support 802.1X.

Support was flakey, and many of the machines still had the older airport cards, so tkip was the only supported protocol for those cards.

Also, there were notorious issues with "mixed mode" keying where the AP was attempting to do something like set a WEP broadcast key but use TKIP for the unicast key.

Also, I'm fairly certain 10.3.x had zip in the way of WPA2 support, and could possibly get confused on a network that tried to be backwards compatible by having both WPA and WPA2 enabled, though I could be wrong.

My experiences with early Apple 802.1X were that if you tried to do anything even slightly off normal you'd end up with all sorts of connectivity problems.

10.3.9 supported WPA; dunno about earlier.

I don't think 10.3 supported WPA.
