Hi Martyn,
75 other C2s are awaiting customs clearance so I should be able to check it
it's a case of bad antennas next week.
Attached is the tarball requested, from the XO, plus /var/log/messages from
the server

That might be dodgy antenna connectors :-(
- does that machine network correctly otherwise?
- have you got any other C2 machine to test? Can we ship you another
machine?

- control-alt-f1 to get to the root shell console
- execute the olpc-netlog command - it will create a file called
logs.<serialnumber>.<date>.tar.bz
- plug a usb stick to the machine, wait a few seconds, it'll show up
in the /media/ directory under a made up name
- copy the file there from the commandline:
cp logs.XXXXX-YYYY.tar.bz2 /media/ZZZZZ/
and then you can unmount the disk (do that from the journal). Take the
usb disk to another machine, and email it :-)
cheers,
