I see this all the time, too. There are some known bugs with encrypted
access points, but I don't know if this one is clearly reported. Wireless
is *so* hard to debug, the programmers can never get to the location where
it actually fails repeatably -- and when it's failing, the laptop is by
definition off the net, so they can't login to it remotely to debug it.
Very frustrating. Access points with encryption have *never* worked
reliably on the XO. I guess the programmers in Cambridge had better
turn off their open access point, or it'll never be solved.
Like the memory freezeups, I just assume that everyone is seeing this
and nobody cares to work on it.
