 > We simply powered up each XO and let it go to the default channel. At
 the same time we ensured that the school server was powered OFF during
 this so that the XOs don't go on the school server network.

 > Amit, can you please repeat a test at Khairat whenever you get a chance
 while ensuring that both XOs go on the same channel and let us know of
 changes in range, if any. Thanks. (please reassign to arnold when test
 done)

 It would be extremely helpful if you capture iwconfig and ifconfig outputs
 for both XOs after and before the connectivity is lost. Thank you!
