Windows 8 & F5 Firepass

Has anyone had success connecting Win 8 64bit to Firepass? I am a consultant with the company that I connect to, so I do not have many details about their implementation. What I have tried is clean installs and upgrades of Win 7 that previously had the drivers installed. The message is "device not found". Any thoughts would be appreciated but more than anything I am just curious if anyone has gotten it working.

    It is not supported yet. Once a supported version will be available, announcement will be made in this forum and on support.f5.com.

    Thanks Michael. Do you happen to know if it will require a server upgrade, or just a client upgrade? I do not believe my client will do a server upgrade / hot fix.

    The upgrade is a combination of server and client enhancements included in hotfix 8 for Firepass 7.0. 64 bit OS support is also included, however the browser must be run in 32 bit mode. This is the default anyway, so most sites don't have trouble with it.
