[OLPC Networking] Wifi doesn't work well?

[Jim Gettys]

Check with Dan Williams on whether there is anything you can do to help
debug WPA; IIRC, this was going to require looking at the packets on the
air and figure out what isn't right.

The biggest help is what Vint could do: find out exactly what hardware
and firmware he's trying to connect to, so that we can easily replicate
and test against it.  I also don't yet know if his system is up to date;
if he's running out of date software, he'll be having many more
problems.
                                     Regards,
                                           - Jim
