My very old Cisco Aironet card worked at every IETF meeting I went in,
works at my hotel, but does not work at IETF 71. I can get the list of
APs but never associates.

The NOC told me they forbid the associations with too low bitrates,
which may be the reason my old dinosaurian card is refused.

I use the terminal room in the mean time (there is a more modern Wifi
card inside my laptop but the current driver is too alpha - it freezes
the kernel). During the meetings, I'm forced to listen to talks
instead of watching YouTube.

So, IPv6 works but Wifi does not. How's that for a report :-)
