XO-1.75 1B1 has eMMC instead of microSD as internal storage, but does
have an external SD slot.

All the problems above are probably related to support for wireless
after suspend and resume.  Please test these wireless findings again
with power management disabled.  My Settings, Power, turn off Automatic
power management.  Then reboot.

If you'd like to be notified of progress on the issue, add your cc to
tickets #11392 and #11500.

Please do not persist with power management disabled, however, because
we need testing of that more than anything, even though we know it
currently causes problems.

Thanks, but not at all interesting.  We're in a temporary strict change
control because of the upcoming manufacturing build, and so we aren't
adopting the latest packages.

Also, once you update you are not testing this build for us any longer,
but are instead testing this build and the updates together.  The latter
isn't as useful to us as the former.
