[sudo-discuss] wifi is borked

Sat May 20 15:09:48 PDT 2017

I've been on the upstairs 'Omni Commons' access point all day and it's
doing great for me! I did have some finicky DNS issues earlier, but a
simple page reload resolved the addresses each time. Havent had any in a
few hours.

Great work, Daniel & co! \o/
