Ask HN: Is united blocking Linux laptops

2 pointssamfisher832 comments

When I tried to connect to United's WiFi with a laptop with Ubuntu it would not connect. Dmesg kept saying trying to authenticate. It could connect with my phone. My phone could connect with the WiFi. Has any one had this issue?

Unlikely. I would suspect some quirk in the combination of AP and your WiFi client, not a conspiracy.

I tried using my usb dongle too. Neither would connect, but they both connected fine to my cell phone.
