Added details about Cisco issues
Since the fall of 2008, there have been two wireless networks on campus. One network, called '''VT-Wireless''', encrypts all traffic and is secured with EAP-TLS or PEAP-MSCHAPv2. The other network, called [[VT_WLAN]]. In July, 2013 VT_WLAN was superseded by CONNECTtoVT-Wireless, is an unencrypted, captive portal wireless network designed to set up connecting to VT-Wireless. Internet access is not available on it. Connections to VT-Wireless are secure by default, and has one of two different methods to connect.
== Fall 2013 Wifi Issues ==
As of September 16th, there is an issue present in the Cisco wireless controllers that Virginia Tech uses which causes 802.11n connections to fail for many users, including Linux users on Intel wireless chipsets. Disabling 802.11n is a workaround until it is fixed. This can be done in Arch Linux and Ubuntu by running:
<pre>echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/intel-802.11n.conf</pre> as root.
