If I understand correctly, the XS-on-XO sets the internal WLAN to ad-hoc mode and runs dhcpd on the interface to simulate an infrastructure network. Given the capabilities of the WLAN card present in both the XO-1.5 and XO-1.75, could such a setup reliably manage collaboration for a class of 30 children? This configuration would eliminate the need for us to connect external wireless hardware.
