=== 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 ===
 +
XO-1.5's do not have Mesh networking support, so they use 802.11 Ad-hoc
 +
networks.  XO-1's default to Mesh networks at the moment for compatibility,
 +
because that is what they historically have done.
 +
Once an XO-1.5 starts an Ad-hoc network, the XO-1's will spot that network
 +
within a minute or two, and use the same Mayan numeral as the XO-1.5 to
 +
indicate its presence.  If all the XOs leave an Ad-hoc network it
 +
disappears; but Network Manager/Sugar cache its presence for a while in case
 +
a scan accidentally missed a network.
 +
When an XO-1 sees an Ad-hoc networks they are all filled in as "occupied",
 +
because an XO-1 does not show the unfilled variants to allow an XO-1 to
 +
start them.
 +
This behavior has been around since OLPC build 10.1.3 (860) & Sugar 0.90,
 +
and is described at [[Features/Ad_hoc_Networking]]
 +
I believe XO-1's can be adjusted to default to Ad-hoc as well if desired
