 Installed os850-xo1.  Went to Neighborhood View, clicked on local AP icon.
 Got dialog asking for WEP password.  Entered password - but 'OK' button on
 dialog did not highlight.  Dialog went away (I forget how).  Repeated
 clicking on local AP icon in Neighborhood View had no result.  Took system
 dump.

 Rebooted.  Went to 'My Settings', clicked on 'Discard Network History'
 button.  Went to Neighborhood View, clicked on local AP icon.  Got dialog
 asking for WEP password.  Entered password - clicked on 'OK' button in
 dialog.  XO-1 connected to the AP.

 ----

 It was not obvious what the user is supposed to do when a situation arises
 where clicking in Neighborhood View on an AP icon produces no response
 whatsoever.  This gets particularly intimidating when it occurs on the
 first use of Neighborhood View following the install of a build -- in
 other words, when it occurs where there has never been a network
 connection from that build.
