Jordi, I thought that Jim Martin's message under subject
"IETF62 Wireless Network Update" had already explained
what was happening (and IPv6 was a victim of those
circumstances). Of course this was very annoying and nobody
wants to see it happen again.

In my experience the IPv4 network was working *most* of the time
after Monday, but there were roaming glitches. And if you
unintentionally associated with the hotel network, life became
more complicated.


It's also not a new problem; we've had major wireless network meltdowns 
at many recent IETFs.  (I'm not at this IETF; I've been at every other 
one for the last 10 years, and it's an ongoing problem: running a 
large-scale wireless net with no time for stress-testing is *hard*.)
