=== Wireless Loss ===
XO machines may experience problems with Access Points not showing in network neighbourhood, or taking a long time to be shown, especially as the number of XO laptops in a room increases. This is now fixed: On XO-4 (8787), the problem does not occur, on OLPC OS 11.3.1 and earlier the problem should not occur, and the solution is to upgrade to 13.2.1. Read more at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/12757
 
On XO-1.5 machines, an aggressive suspend and resume may also cause wifi to stop working. The solution is to go to Control Panel, Power, and uncheck powersaving.
 
=== Mesh Networking Deprecated ===

* Sugar 0.92.1 has a bug with jabber.sugarlabs.org
  The large number of avitars being sent cause long delays on starting activities. dbus timeouts.
  If CP/Network does not start here, it is not possible to delete the jabber entry.
  It is possible to do this with the old terminal OLPC command:
:Commands:
  sugar-control-panel -l ( Lists commands )
  sugar-control-panel -s jabber ""
        suggested by Cerlyn  ("" is null string which forces salut )
To check setting change:
  sugar-control-panel -g jabber (which lists current setting to see if it is changed. Shows blank line)
* MY Settings/About Me/ click on different color avitar; restart; gdm log in and jabber will not be a problem
*'''after using the Ad-hoc connection; disconnecting and connecting to the Access Point; you must restart sugar to get jabber to reconnect.'''
