Can someone remind me the reason that XO laptops (if I'm remembering
correctly) cannot use their antennae/ears as a self-contained WiFi AP
server?  (e.g. for tiny community/village libraries in very offline
developing countries.  A very typical situation being: local librarian
wants to use existing XO hardware, leaving a humble knowledge hotspot
unpassworded and wide open to diverse WiFi devices, in the style of
Internet-in-a-Box).

Is it a HW and/or SW (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HostAP) that prevents
this, out of curiosity?
