[olpc-help] Wireless Access Point - Help!

[Mike Meyer]

I did two things in this situation (I'm not sure they are both necessary).
1. Upgraded to build 653
2. Found (on the wiki, connecting page), the Wpa.sh script, installed it and
ran.

I have my wifi router doing WAP encryption.  The Wpa.sh shell script needed
my router name, and the password (not the hex string) I used on the router.

At least it worked for me.  --Mike
