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.
