Brian,

I did not acknowledge that there is an issue with the A ver of the 1522. The problem is an interaction of the firmware loaded on the Cisco router to fix another problem noted earlier in the season when used with A version. It was discovered in testing after St. Louis that the Cisco firmware and the Dlink AP were affected when used together. Please read page 7 and 8 of the report. Please note that the report also states that this updated firmware was only installed at week four events. That being said, a user testing with wifi devices at their home field could not have discovered this vulnerability. In addition, it could only be discovered at an event using a 5GHz enabled wifi device of which, until recently, there were limited numbers of such devices available.
