That should be fixed with the latest moodle-xs, but that is not on the
iso, atm... You should boot in single mode and start the network to get
internet access. Then do a yum --enablerepo=olpcxs-testing update to
grab the latest packages.

What is the third nic for, anyway?

So, the XS that is pre-configured to have the AP on "eth1", part of
lanbond0, but eth1 was not present at install time, perfect..

What is the output of:
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

You can swap eth1 and eth2 in that file to rename the interfaces, if
eth1 is not the nic to your AP.

Stop the network before you edit, then reboot after your done editing..

After the "yum update" that should not be required.

What did you pass to domain_config as the domain name? If you leave it
blank you get the default of "schoolserver.random.xs.laptop.org"

What is the output of: 

cat /etc/sysconfig/xs_server_number 
cat /etc/sysconfig/xs_domain_name
cat /etc/sysconfig/xs_network_config
