   You are wrong about its behavior with known APs.   The laptop  
 always
   searches for mesh portals.  If it doesn't find any, it then  
 looks for
   APs that it knows about.  If it finds one, it selects it.



 -- We've seen similar behaviour here in Nepal. I was believing  
 that this is only an UI problem and not network as a whole. I  
 didn't find anything unusual in wireshark either or maybe missed  
 it completely. I've seen this with Q2D14 and 656, 702 and 703.

 Is there a way to completely disable the mesh search and get the  
 XO to display only the networks available?? We are going for  
 regular wifi as AP, and mesh portal search seem to add confusion.

 best,
 Sulo

[Server-devel] Customizing build 703 for mass deployment

[Bryan Berry]

I have created a wiki page detailing the customizations Nepal has
made to the 703 image, which includes installation of the gnuchess, and
man page rpms, the proprietary flash player, changing the display order
of activities, among other changes
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Nepal:_Testing%2C_QA%
2C_and_Configuration#Custom_XO_Build_Configuration  

Currently, I use an extremeley inelegant method to create standard
images for Nepal's deployment and I would very much like assistance in
finding a more elegant method. Michael Stone has been helping me hack
jffs2 images but I still haven't found a better method than booting into
an os image, loading rpms and changing settings, then using save-nand to
create a custom .img file.
