This is a known Android failure. If there is no IPv4, it will not connect to a WiFi network, unless you manually configure some (arbitrary) static IPv4 address on the interface.
Heard the same thing from Marco. However, this means that some users will fail to use this network, due to the lack of experience/knowledge.
True. However, keep in mind that this was true for the main ESSID "ripemtg" this year too: People with devices that didn't support 5GHz had to connect to the secondary ESSID. I think we could very well do the same with IPv4 as with 2.4GHz; take away backwards compatibility for both 2.4GHz and IPv4 on the main "ripemtg" ESSID, but keep a "ripemtg-legacy" or something like that available for devices that requires the presence of either 2.4GHz and/or IPv4. We wouldn't be the first conference to do so, either: https://fosdem.org/2014/news/2014-02-01-pushing-ipv6/ Tore
