Cisco–not iPhone–source of Duke network woes

Those sick and tired of iPhone fawning won’t get their much-coveted schadenfreude, despite early allegations that major network issues at Duke University were caused by the iPhone’s wifi. The original accusation was that iPhones on campus were periodically flooding the wireless network with MAC requests, taking down the wireless network. This quote in particular, from Duke’s Assistant Director of Communication Infrastructure, is pretty much solid gold:

I don’t believe it’s a Cisco problem in any way, shape, or form.”

The only problem? It was a Cisco problem. You’d think that Duke would have learned by now to save the finger pointing until they actually know something.
