Hi Bennett,

On both XOs, if I try to connect using the steps above, I get this:

   # ping 192.168.1.1
   connect: Network is unreachable

On the XO that works, the steps above do not lead to the icon for  
linksys in the Network GUI becoming active; rolling over the linksys  
icon does not reveal a "Disconnect" option in the contextual menu that  
appears.

Even if I execute...

   # /sbin/iwconfig eth0 ap 00:18:39:B3:62:3C

... after the other iwconfig commands, I still cannot ping 192.168.1.1.

I've also tried:

   # /sbin/ifup eth0
   Determining IP information for eth0... failed

# ping updates.laptop.org

On both XOs /etc/resolv.conf contains:

   # generated by NetworkManager, do not edit!

As you can see from my other reply to this thread, the initial boot  
problem has cleared up.  The only issue that is still outstanding is  
getting the affected XO to connect to the Internet.

What sequence of commands are executed when the user clicks on an icon  
in the Network GUI (F1)?  Can't I simply run these commands in order  
from the virtual console?

Since I have a second XO which *can* connect to the Internet, and  
since the affected XO connects automatically via the Mesh Network to  
the second XO, shouldn't I be able to access the Internet on the  
affected XO via the connection on the second one?

Thanks in advance,

James
