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.
