 Though not a linear report, nor exact tracking, I found since around os57
 that Sugar would not complete a wireless connection, but that switching to
 Gnome found wireless able to be activated and working. Sometimes
 neighborhood showed the icon, sometimes it disappeared, it never accepted
 its WEB passcode, even after rebooting network.

 The not-so-testable workaround that made wireless come back in os63 with
 rom 25 added is as follows:

 deleted connections.cfg still no wireless in Sugar ( Power tab disabled,
 of course)

 restarted several times in Sugar, switched to Gnome, enabled wireless,
 used for a while, unable to switch to Sugar, citing "internal error"

 reboot to Sugar and get FULL disk message, option to delete Wikipedia
 activity and clear some journal, accept, boot continues, no wireless.

 try sugar-control-panel -s no radio mixed message results about not
 finding display, but wireless light appears off, switch to Gnome and
 promptly re-enable wireless, works, switch to Sugar, and viola, Sugar
 wireless works.
