 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Setup

 XOs/Sugar should support Wi-Fi Protected Setup, at least in the "push
 button" and {mandatory} PIN numeric key sharing modes.  The USB mode might
 also be interesting to support in conjunction with maybe some other XO
 setup information.

 Wpa_supplicant on my laptop is aware of how to do this, so we should
 largely just get this (apart from the GUI work) once everything above this
 layer understands how to do this, provided our Wi-Fi cards understand
 this.

 I could see this being used as a simple way to secure school networks
 where a single AP is present.
