I only see 802b3 there so far. Let me ask a question: I wm wondering
what is the difference between 8.2.2-betas and
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/F11_for_XO-1 - I do not mean so much in
terms of technology, but in terms of intended usage and target
audience. I found this thread
http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@lists.laptop.org/msg21474.html but
that does not really compare the two.

Thanks,
Milan
