Personal Laptops and the Wireless Network

When people register their laptops on the FAS wireless network, they should only enter the first eight digits of their Harvard ID number. If they enter all the digits printed on the ID, they'll get an error message. The web site for FAS Computing Services gives instructions for FAS affiliates and non-FAS affiliates about connecting their computers to the wireless network.

I think this is the procedure for authenticating in general -- or it used to be; the last digit (9th) is superfluous, as it only indicates how many times the ID has been replaced.
