[OSX-Users] Re: iOS 5.0.1 and ecs-wlan?? Re: logging in to one's iPod/iphone with prompt?

[Hugh C Davis]

I have not noticed any connectivity problems since the 5.0.1 upgrade. Of
course I am connected to eduroam rather than ECS-WLAN but its the same
thing at the packets level isn't it?

As Andy says, my BT Router shows the MAC address of all things connected
to it.
