#1223: trouble connecting to wifi accesspoint

 With build 368 installed onto internal flash.

 I was unable to connect to my unencrypted wifi accesspoint through the
 sugar interface.

 Steps to reproduce:
 1. Go to mesh view, locate access point
 2. click access point, watch it blink
 3. wait

 result:
 1. internet does not connect

 workarounds needed:
 1.  Went into developer console, looked at /sbin/iwconfig
 2.  Noticed both msh0 and eth0 are listed as "ad-hoc" and essid="olpc-
 mesh"
 3.  Kill networkmanager.
 4.  Manually change eth0 to managed
 5.  manually change essid to my SSID
 6.  manually run dhclient
 7.  If still failure, try rmmod usb8xxx and modprobe usb8xxx.

 This is a pretty big step back. I haven't had this much trouble connecting
 to wifi in a long time.
