>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.
