[Toronto-dev] [Server-devel] Post XS-0.7 plans (Holt)

[Tim Moody]

13. "INSERT DONGLE NOW" warning will appear. While optional, this 
configuration step is critical for those using an USB Ethernet dongle to 
connect to their LAN/Intranet. Type "Y" to continue

How do you envision the architecture?  It sounds like wifi is for WAN and 
USB/Ethernet is for LAN and the XO/server gets an address via dhcp over wifi 
and provides addresses over Ethernet.  What would prevent the other XOs from 
simply acquiring an ip over the same wifi as the XO/server and bypassing it 
for routing/gateway services?  Are you thinking there will be two wifi hubs 
and the WAN one will be password protected so that the other XOs can not 
connect?

Can you recommend a compatible USB Ethernet device?  (I know there is a page 
on laptop.org, but it is a little dated.)
