Comment(by dsd):

 Replying to [comment:11 Eben]:
 > Association with a network should be automatic after boot, right?  It
 should automatically associate with previously used networks, or with the
 school server for kids in schools.  Even if this isn't immediate, it
 should happen soon enough to make it possible to check for activities.  In
 the worst case, they'll see a message indicating they aren't connected
 yet, and can hit "Try again" button in the Software Update module.

 It does not automatically associate with school servers, because it does
 not know which APs have school servers behind them. It takes a couple of
 minutes at least to connect with previously connected APs, because it
 tries the mesh first.

 Also a common usage for this will be the G1G1 situation where it runs on
 first boot and has never been connected anywhere before, so it will not
 automatically connect to anything.

 I still feel this deserves some further consideration...
