 When connected to an access point and not connected to a jabber server the
 laptops fail to connect to each other.  In 1CC what happens is the access
 point automatically switches the channel of laptops back and forth from 6
 to 11.  As a result there is no way to access any of the collaboration
 features.  This is because the XO's in the neighborhood view take a while
 to populate, and by the time they get populated the computer has again
 switched the channel, and the information in the neighborhood view is no
 longer applicable.
