Hola Omar!

Guillermo's notes are good -- he is getting good results with that hardware.

Some more info

 - Access Points tested with XO-1 and XO-1.5
   http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Wireless_access_point_compatibility

 - Some recommended HW and notes on how to choose HW - also look at
the server sizing section
   http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Recommended_Hardware

 - In terms of numbers of access points, you need to plan a bit. We
usually recommend 1 AP per 40 active users, you also have to consider
the number of kids in a classroom, whether walls block RF or not,
school layout, etc.

cheers,
