I followed the instructions on this page:

   http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Autoreinstallation_image

and updated a B2 device to OLPC Build 406.

The XO starts up OK but there appears to be no wireless network.

When starting up after:

   Setting hostname localhost.localdomain

completes successfully the following error appears:

   raidautorun: failed to open /dev/md0: No such device or address

and after pressing "I" all the services start up without errors 
except olpc-configure -- it reports this error:

   eth0   no private ioctls

from a root shell ifconfig only lists the lo interface.

On this page:

   http://wiki.laptop.org/go/B1-demo-notes

under Network:

   "Click on the network icon (five bars on the upper-right of the Frame).
    A list of available wireless networks will show up in a drop down
    menu. If you cannot see any networks, it may be because the embedded
    control did not properly initialize the USB ports (the network
    controller is a USB device)-you will need to reboot."

but I have no icons in the upper right -- it appears the USB port is 
not getting initialized.

Before updating the initial screen reported:

   OLPC B2 119k Memory
   OpenFirmware CL1 Q2B61 Q2B

It now reports:

   OLPC B1 128 MB memory installed, S/N SHF7060025B
   OpenFirmware CL1 Q2C11 Q2C

This machine appears to be a BTest-2 because it only has 128 MB of 
memory and has black lettering on the keyboard (so I'm confused by 
the B1 displayed in the startup screen).

It's now running:

   OLPC Build 406 (stream development variant devel_jffs2)
   Kernel 2.6.21-20070507.3.olpc.15ac7a569001afe

At this point I don't have any information on whether the wireless 
network worked properly before the upgrade.
