[OLPC-devel] Re: wireless/libertas: miscellaneous fixes

[Christopher Blizzard]

Regarding the size and format of installing from wireless, it might be 
much simpler than people have imagined.  We might be able to make it as 
simple as running a program that sets the wireless to a known wireless 
name and then you have another machine that sends over an installer 
image to load and run on the machine.  If you can make assumptions about 
network IDs, channels, IP addresses (or lack thereof) then you can make 
that part of the experience extremely simple, small and flexible.

You don't have to drive it from a program that's contained in the BIOS - 
you just need to have enough set up to be able to load a program from 
somewhere else that can handle the real re-install.
