@Mentalist

Thanks again
Nope, I didn't install any Free Wifi app or anything like that. And I will delete the entry and try again Friday (no class tomorrow). I know that the wi-fi name has not changed and I don't think that hardware has changed due to the constant availability of wi-fi on
campus. Not sure though. But if any of their hardware has changed, I couldn't imagine why everyone else can connect with laptops, phones, devices while I cannot.

...this is so odd. Nothing has ever been wrong with my n900. And this problem is so particular.

If anyone knows how to properly use aircrack-ng or kismet in way I could understand and in a way that could help my issue, that'd be fantastic
