Duke University is facing a wireless LAN crisis which seems to be related to the recent release of Apple's iPhone.
Up to 30 wireless access points can be knocked out at a time as the built-in 802.11b/g adapter on the newly released phone flood the area with MAC address requests. The requests are for an invalid router address, since the iPhone making the request doesn't get an answer it keeps asking, tying up the system for ten to 15 minutes at a time.
Right now this isn't a huge problem but school officials are worried that the end of August will bring a huge influx of new iPhone users and more headaches than Duke can handle.
