From the perspective of the panopticon that the centrally managed

fairly chronic issues, most did not. I'd love to offer the users in

they have anything with an intel 2100 or with a prism 2 wireless
chipset it's probably time to upgrade preferably with a fresh os as
well...
I was on the 5 GHz network almost exclusively, mostly by choice (by
putting the ietf-a network in the list above the ietf network) but
even if I did use the 2.4+5 GHz network my computer was smart enough
to use 5 GHz most of the time. It worked just great, very good
connectivity even during the plenaries.
My 802.11b/g iPhone wasn't so happy on 2.4 GHz during the plenary,
though...
So good job having 5 GHz stuff in the first place and also as a
separate SSID so those of us who are able to, can choose this
manually and let the others duke it out in the overpopulated 2.4 GHz
band.
I wasn't not overly impressed with the room network though, not only
the performance on some days but also that the network was dead on
friday evening and saturday morning. Thanks to Eircom for their free
wifi access point, but it really wasn't upto the task even with the
small contingent of IETFers still around on saturday morning.
That was an accident, not according to any plan, and was not due to
our volunteer team.
Having said that, if we enhance the hotel network during the IETF, an
end-to-end test after we remove any
enhancement should be part of the future checklist. (In other words,
in the future we should verify connectivity in the hotel rooms after
the original hotel network is restored.)
