Comment(by carrano):

 Puzzle:

 - 656 connects to WEP. The kernel is
 2.6.22-20071231.2.olpc.83e0631da83a269.

 - 657 _do_not_ connect to WEP. The kernel is
 2.6.22-20071121.7.olpc.af3dd731d18bc39 (older)

 656 is the last ship2, and 657 is the first Update1, and brought some
 older stuff back (like firmware 20.p42 and the kernel).

 But af3dd.. is the same kernel that, when put in joyride-1579 made the WEP
 work. We seem to be dealing with many causes here (as usual).

 I'll continue this until I find two consecutive builds where:

 - WEP works with build N but not with N+1

 - Build N+1 uses a newer kernel than build N (which should happen when
 inside the same branch, as update.1)

 - Libertas firmware version is the same in both builds (if not force it
 and see if changes anything)

 But it helps if anyone knows of an Update.1 build where WEP works (if
 ever)

 In any case, I am attaching dmesg outputs with lbs_deb_{SCAN, ASSOC, WEXT,
 CMD and HOST} on for 656 and 657.
