 problem:
 Trying to associate with an AP named "Gérard" does not work; the "é"
 confuses /usr/lib/python2.5/ConfigParser.py . It borks out at line 511
 with a NoSectionError.

 stopgap solution (as suggested by tomeu on #olpc):
 Remove /home/olpc/.sugar/default/nm/network.cfg , wait for X to respawn. X
 boots fine
