That's interesting.  What model of XO?  What operating system build?

To adjust my instructions, you can either:

1.  use OpenFirmware, at the ok prompt type

	ok scan-wifi

or

2.  stop NetworkManager before the scan:

	sudo service NetworkManager stop
	sudo ifconfig eth0 up
	sudo iwlist eth0 scan
