Re: [Server-devel] [UKids] "XO-1 classrooms" don't reliably connect to many/most Wifi AP's

G'day Anne, Yes, a manual "sudo iwlist eth0 scan" in Terminal, or an "iwlist eth0 scan" in console, until the AP appears, is all it takes to fix. You derived an independent workaround for the same problem! If you have some XO-1 that work and some that don't, then you might have one broken antenn

This is all very interesting, particularly when James Cameron stated, "...all it takes is for two active scans to miss the access point." All the years I've been working with these things, I really had no idea. And did I inadvertently do the correct workaround? I've got a couple of XO-1's that r

There seems to be a lot of speculation, so I'll add more technical details on what Terry and I have been investigating. 1. sometimes, an active scan by the XO-1 does not have the access point listed in the scan results, despite the XO-1 transmitting an acknowledgement to the access point, 2. an
