If anyone wants a reliable place to test this, Ziferblat in Manchester
UK has no fewer than 7 access points all named 'Ziferblat' and this
almost completely jams my WiFi - I can't auth, I can't even use other
5Ghz portable hotspots, the only saviour is the 2.5Ghz hotspot on my
ageing Nexus.

This is on 15.04 with an Intel 6235.
