XSCE is based on OLPC OS, and OLPC OS intentionally does not support 
all USB WIFI adapters. We removed from the kernel support for 
adapters that we did not expect to be used, in order to reduce the 
size of the kernel and OS installation. 

So your question can be rephrased as "How do I add support for USB 
WIFI adapters to OLPC OS?" 
Yes, that's my question.



An answer is: 

1. determine if Fedora Linux supports the adapter, and if not work 
with the Fedora community to get support added, 
I found a URL of compatible wireless USB adapter list:

http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-usb-wireless-compatibility-adapter-list.html

And RTL8187 should work, right?



2. if Fedora does support the adapter, determine the kernel 
configuration change between the Fedora kernel and the OLPC OS kernel 
that removed support, 

3. build a new OLPC OS kernel, with this configuration change reversed, 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Kernel_Building 
I will try it later.



4. upgrade to that kernel on the laptop and test all functions. 

A short cut answer might be possible if you obtain the USB vendor id 
and product id from the adapter. Then I can search the kernel 
sources.
USB adapter is USB\VID_0BDA&PID_8176.

I thought that a compatible hardware list on WIKI is welcome.
