I am still running Endpoint Protection on my laptop, only one issue so far. Endpoint Protection 11 breaks WPA and WPA2 authentication for your wireless network. From reading in some Symantec forums it is a known issue with this software. The easiest way around it is to disable Network Threat Protection while you are authenticating then enable it was the connection is established.

I looked for more of a permanent solution but even when I disabled the HIPS rules and allowed all traffic to pass on my wireless card it still failed. I guess this is the case when the client is unmanaged, if you have a managed client which I don’t you can work around it by allowing EAPOL. I can’t test this because I don’t have the server and so it isn’t managed. Hopefully they come out with a workaround.
