For those of us with an iPod Touch, we don't have 3G to fall back on. For those of us whose corporate network (using BlueSocket) requires authentication, the auto-join and username/password auto-login don't work.

I get the sliding window every time I wake up my iPod Touch and have to enter my credentials every. single. time.

Before, I could launch the VPN to avoid typing my credentials, but I no longer have that option.

Does anyone know of a fix, other than downgrading to OS 2.x?

I don't see the auto-join in my wifi setting after the update is something wrong with my iPhone, or this is a usual thing?

I'm in with Big Will on that , no screen says auto join, but it does anyway. Has anyone noticed better wifi reception? I have an old graphite airport and another with no antenna that never worked. The graphite shows 3 not 2 now and the other works fine.

I used to have to sign in to my university's wifi too. But then I sent an email to the helpdesk and they added my phone's mac address to their list of allowed devices. Now my phone connects automatically.

You have to alter your plist file. Anyone know what to do?

I actually have the 3.0 beta 3 version and I don't see this option on my WiFi screen.

This is great. so I don't have to keep doing that annoying log in for Optimum WiFi, and AT&TFreeWiFi. =]

I used to think logging into my university's WiFi on my iPhone was a pain. Then, once the iPhone 3G came out, I tried using 3G instead of WiFi to avoid the tiresome login process. It turns out AT&T's 3G network is faster than the large university's password-protected WiFi. So why would I bother to log in to a slower network? I just hope the next-gen iPhone has the processing speed to show a noticeable difference between a WiFi connection (a fast one, like on my home router) and 3G.

Logging into a University network is a nuisance on a computer but on the iPhone drives you just plain crazy. Unfortunately, only EDGE is available here or I would bypass wifi altogether. This is a very welcome feature indeed!
