I did have a problem Friday morning before the session start.  I got
an IP address, but couldn't even ping the router.  The person next to

I mostly had no problems from Tuesday onwards with one exception: I had
to reload my kernel driver after each sleep - possibly this causes a
full reset of the hardware or something. This is something I seldom (but
not never) have to do.

I'd be willing to lay odds that the people who saw problems from Tuesday
share some hardware characteristics: for instance the same or a small
number of chipsets. My guess is that all AP-chipset combos are not
created equal.
