If you are having trouble connecting to an specific access point, you may want to try using this simple script: http://wiki.laptop.org/images/4/44/Wpa.sh. Once this procedure is successful, you will not have to do it again as the settings will be remembered when you reboot.

Instructions:

  1. Copy http://wiki.laptop.org/images/4/44/Wpa.sh to your XO (any directory)
  2. Open the terminal activity
  3. Change to the directory you copied wpa.sh on step 1
  4. Execute the following command to have administrative privileges "su -"
  5. Execute the script "sh wpa.sh"
  6. Follow the instructions on screen, providing the SSID, passphrase and WPA version of your Access Point
  7. Reboot the XO (as instructed in the end of step 6)
  8. Go to the mesh view and click on the circle of your AP, that should be showing as

open now (no lock attached to the circle)
