FON	La Fonera 2100E	Release: 0.7.1.2	Yes	Security: WEP, Type: Open System, 64-bit key password
NETGEAR	WPN824v2	V2.0.10_1.2.17	Yes	G1G1 Tested WEP 128-bit PSK with 1.2.17 firmware (XO builds 650, 653), WPA2 CCMP PSK with 2.0.10 firmware (on build joyride-1500). Saw occasional failures to connect. When switching from WEP to WPA2, had to wipe out /home/olpc/.sugar/default/nm/networks.cfg, use the Wpa.sh script, and reboot. Working fine now.
NETGEAR	WGT624v3	?	"Tested"??	B4, joyride 1597, q2d10. The following settings worked (some others did not). On the router: Name: lettersonly, Channel: 11, Mode: g only, Security Options: WEP, Authentication type: Shared key, Encryption Strength: 128bit, Key 1. On the XO: Key Type: Hex, key: <the same as router Key 1>, Authentication Type: Shared Key.

Microsoft	MN-700	02.01.02.0590	Yes	Connects only when base station wireless security encryption is set to "none". Tried unsuccessfully to connect with WEP, and then WPA enabled (G1G1 build 656). The only wireless security setting that works with this router and OLPC is Mac filtering.
DLINK	DWL2100AP	unknown	In field only	This AP was tested and may be used in Nepal
DLINK	DWL2200P	unknown	In field only	This AP was tested and may be used in Nepal

Cisco	AIR-BR1310G-A-K9-R	12.3(8)JA		Works but radio must be set to channels 1, 6, or 11. I normally configure this device to automatically choose the least congested frequency, but in my office that ends up being something other than 1, 6 and 11 most of the time.
