wireless on campus
Does anyone know if it's possible to use the wireless on campus with an itouch? (Ie: can you access the network without the cisco clean access agent?)

Yes you can.


If Tailsnake comes into this topic later he's going to rub that fact in.

Almost everywhere has wireless. Places in particular where I've noticed a lack of wireless internets are between the buildings and pretty much all of the TSH/KTH basement.

In the residences close to main buildings you could sometimes pick up a signal from your room.

In Edwards there is wireless in the common room, game room and study room.

There should be little signs around saying if there is wireless (like in the H. Sci library). Another place/building without wireless is LSB... at least from what I receive on my laptop.

Unlike cisco for laptop, every time you want to use the internet, you have to sign on.

I think the itouch's can save login/passwords so logging in on isn't a big problem.

Yup.

The student centre has bad wireless reception in the basement.

Mills, near the audiotapes, has really bad reception as well.
