Just a quick update to say that the iphone 3.1 did fix the auto-join problems.

Just to rehas this discussion... Has anyone found that the Iphone3.1 software has fixed this?

I'm glad to see others with this problem (meaning that in nicest way possible of course). I had opened case 337745 with Apple. From what I found, the phone sends out probe requests for the known network and receives responses, but the phone never sends 802.11 auth frames (let alone association frames) for said network. Only if the user taps the network does the phone connect. I'll see about the suggested 3.1 beta - sounds intriguing. ========== Ryan Holland Network Engineer, Wireless CIO - Infrastructure The Ohio State University 614-292-9906 holland....@osu.edu Subject: Re: iphone 3.0 auto-join problems?

Instead, it goes like: It's a bug in iPhone OS 3.0. You should probably talk with Apple about access to the 3.1 beta for testing... -- Jorj Bauer Manager of Engineering, Research and Development Information Systems and Computing, University of Pennsylvania XMPP: j...@upenn.edu ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
