[OLPC Networking] Wifi doesn't work well?

[Krishna Sankar (ksankar)]

Jim,

	Earlier I had asked for a couple to test mesh and wireless. I do
have the apple express and airport. Would be happy to help out, also can
work on WPA. Just as background, I am the lead author the Cisco Wireless
Lan Security book. 

Cheers
<k/>

Vint,

What build are you running?  We'd suggest 406.

Are you using WPA on your system?  We don't have WPA running (yet); this
seems unlikely given you say it is "unprotected".

We've been having some trouble with certain access points; if you could
get us the exact model number of the apple express, that would be very
helpful.

I'll enter this into our trac system for you and cc you on it; this way
we won't forget about the problem.

                                       - Jim Gettys
