Hi all. I upgraded to build 802 from build 767 via USB drive (os802.usb, os802.toc) & 'sudo olpc-update --usb' and now I can't detect any wireless nodes, whether mesh or access point in neighborhood view. Anyone know what's happening/happened? Thanks -Naz

that provides enough profit to fund OLPC considering that the $250-$300 niche is already filled with models that provide way more horsepower than the XO-1 (yes, we can say "that's not XO's objective niche!", but consumers will still look at cpu,ram&storage whatever anyone says).
