My WAP is broadcasting it's SSID and is using WPA/WPA2 Personal.

When I startup the XO I don't get any icons in the upper right listing available SSID's and noting appears when I open the local network icon.

This is the result of running ifconfig -a:

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback 
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

What else should I see?

I assumed I'd see a wireless interface in the list.

Do you know if this error message means anything?

  eth0   no private ioctls

It's generated on startup when running: olpc-configure.
