> - WPA works with some percentage chance of success For me, WPA never works automatically and almost always works when I poke my AP icon. (That's after I've given it my password the first time.)
That includes both power up and returning from closing the cover. I think Daniel Drake has a test case for this on a thread from Message-id: <[email protected]> Subject: 8.2.1 wireless testing results #2 From: Daniel Drake <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2009 11:02:50 -0300 (06:02 PST) I have to wait "long enough" for the automatic stuff to give up and get out of the way. Normally, I wait until things in the Neighborhood view stop blinking. That may not be quite long enough. A couple of times it's asked me for a password which didn't work. I think that was because I didn't wait long enough. As long as I wait long enough, it works. Maybe not 100%, but close enough that I can blame any quirks on not waiting long enough.

I've got an XO with 2 network circles in the lower-right frame view. The one on the left is my AP. It's working. The one on the right says it's Mesh Network 1 looking for a Mesh Portal. The Mesh 1 circle in the Neighborhood view is blinking. It's been that way all night. I'll leave it for a while in case anybody wants me to poke at it to get more info. I've also seen what seems like a similar quirk. After the connection to my AP stabilized, the popup on the Frame icon said Channel 1. My AP is using channel 6 which is what the popup normally shows. I suspect a missing lock, but it might be only in the UI part of things. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
