IMPORTANT NEWS FOR MACINTOSH USERS: Starting Fall quarter 2009, Snow Leopard users (10.6) will authenticate to Mustang Wireless using any web browser. The Cisco Clean Access Agent is not currently compatible with Snow Leopard, but we anticipate a delivery date of Winter quarter, 2009, for a compatible Agent. All other Macintosh users (10.5 and under...10.5 is regular Leopard) can use a web browser or the Cisco Clean Access Agent to authenticate; we recommend using the Agent, as it will leave you logged in longer than the web browser will. PDA users will still register their device at the ITS Service Desk, building 14, room 114. Thank you!
