We are seeing some of the usual problems with the wireless support at
IETF55 in Atlanta. To help mitigate the problems:
1) Make sure you laptop is configured with SSID of IETF55
2) Do not allow your laptop to run in peer-to-peer mode. Set it to Access
Point only mode.
We are seeing many nodes running in peer-to-peer mode. It is essential
that people not run in peer-to-peer mode. If you run in peer-to-peer mode
(even unintentionally) it will disrupt other people and the overall
wireless network operation. Many new OS's will fall back to peer-to-peer
mode by default. Please make yours does not do this.
See http://www.ietf55.ops.ietf.org/ietf55/NetworkTerminal for more detail
on OS setup.
Thanks,
Bob (for the NOC team)
p.s. Later today we will start confiscating the wireless cards of people
running in peer-to-peer mode....
