[COLUG] Panera and/or Easton Wifi

[Mark Richards]

I have spent many hours and days at both Panera(s) and Cup of Joe at Easton.  Both work well with my openSUSE and SUSE Enterprise Desktops.  I have found that the Easton Wireless is a little flaky with the Intel IPW3945 chipset.  You can connect with no issues, but after a little while you will get dropped.  You can quickly reconnect, but it get annoying.

I have also found that between the hours of 11:30-2p, most Paneras have issues getting you an ipaddress.  This is not a Linux issue.

How friendly is Panera's Wifi for Linux clients? 
What does it require? Login? Javascript? Java? Flash? 

I've heard that Easton has Wifi coverage.
