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.
 
The ath9k driver may require [http://www.mail-archive.com/ath9k-devel@lists.ath9k.org/msg06226.html compiling with this patch].
