Hi everyone,
Wondering if anyone else has had a problem connecting to Wifi at a
Hennepin County library. I was at the Edina branch today, and I was
not able to connect -- I could see a lot of available access points,
but my machine continuously failed to get an IP address.

I've got an older Thinkpad with an intel adapter. Here's the info from my dmesg:

erikm at hemingway:~$ dmesg | grep iwl

Unfortunately I didn't get details on the infrastructure they have at
the library. I can probably go get that at some point in the next few
days if necessary.

Has anyone run into this kind of issue?

-Erik
