-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Go figure. :-) Via NetworkWorld. [snip] The Wi-Fi connection on Apples recently released iPhone seems to be the source of a big headache for network administrators at Duke University. The built-in 802.11b/g adapters on several iPhones periodically flood sections of the Durham, N.C. schools pervasive wireless LAN with MAC address requests, temporarily knocking out anywhere from a dozen to 30 wireless access points at a time. Campus network staff are talking with Cisco, the main WLAN provider, and have opened a held desk ticket with Apple. But so far, the precise cause of the problem remains unknown.
