[olpc-help] Wireless Access Point - Help!

[bluerover94-olpc at yahoo.com]

I just finished several hours of tweaking and testing and the only way I can connect with Build 653 or Build 650 is with all encryption disabled.
   
  I have ATT Uverse for my ISP
  The WAP is a 2Wire 3800HGV-B Gateway Software Revision 5.29.105.76

What other lists would be good to distribute to?
   
  I am going to try to go to a friends house and attempt to connect to another network just to see what happens.

  If you can't get it to work with 653, then this is likely to be a true incompatibility. It would be good for you to post on various forums and mailing lists to see if anyone else has this AP and have been able to connect. Also, if no one has gotten it to work we would like to get the exact make and model number to try and get it in  house and do some testing/debugging. 

Thanks for your help!

  Ok.

I tried the Wpa.sh method and all of the various
work-arounds and tweaks I've found here and on the
wiki. Bottom line - I consistently got an inconsistent
response.

I am now in the process of a 653 build activated 
upgrade.

I think part of the problem may be the 2wire DSL
box/router. I say this because of what I have observed
en route to my ultimate goal. I want to have my
Macbook, Dell XP laptop, and two XO's all running on 
the same wireless network. In debugging this I have
been changing the settings on the router. There are
certain settings that will work with the Macbook that
no matter what I do to the XP laptop won't work [for 
example the router has a setting that claims it will
run WPA1 and WPA2 simultaneously, or WEP Open which,
if given the right length password the help file
claims will encrypt].

Bottom line - I've been burning the midnight oil on 
these XO's for 5 nights now with no luck. The effects
of sleep deprivation are setting in...
