[AusNOG] Apple iPhone5 Wifi connectivity problems - faulty Apple wireless chipsets?

[Thomas Jackson]

A colleague was talking about this the other day - apparently they had some
iPad 2 units working perfectly until upgrading them and their new iPhone 5s
wouldn't connect at all.

In the end, he found out that TKIP support (which is what their APs were
configured to use) seems to have vanished, and AES was the only supported
cipher. After swapping over, suddenly everything started working again.

Hi everyone happy new year.

I've tried to post this twice to the Apple Support Forums but they seem to
not like it.

I was wondering if anyone on AUSNOG is having the same iPhone5 Wifi issues
and if so, please contact me off-list.

Could be nothing, could be something.  The fact Apple keep blocking my posts
is a bit bizarre too.  Maybe they didn't like the tag shame-on-apple? :)
