The OOM problem on Gen 1 is a True Kernel Bug. The problem is that the

"Remove all power and wait" is by far the easiest way to reset a
keyboard, but ...
If one really could not get the keyboard to work, but wanted to upgrade
the firmware anyway, here is a recipe:
a) Get a USB stick, ideally factory-formatted with a FAT filesystem, but
ext2 will work too.

Thank you. And yes I'm conflicted.
Your summary and experience
give a good overview
and I'll point people to the
wiki.laptop.org if they need more
info.

I can't quite understand the desire for "definitive info" combined
with your disappointment that you don't have 1.5 "rumors". I don't
think we need rumors, and I and many other folks have been providing
"definitive info" about 1.5 for some time. And about the mesh, etc.

That's not correct. Many of us have run into this problem and done
the upgrade. As Richard pointed out, removing all power (disconnect
the AC adapter, remove the battery, count to 10, then reassemble) will
reset the EC and fix the problem. Power on the machine and press Esc

I'd said to lots of people that the XO
uses 802.11s mesh networking
and eventually ran into someone rather
geekie and otherwise impressively knowledgeable
who corrected me that they didn't implement the
whole standard (and people here say draft).
The Marvel driver is said to be closed source,

Sameer -
Under a tree, using mesh networking is pointless (unless, I suppose,
it is an extraordinarily large tree). Mesh networking allows packet
forwarding from node A to node B, whe

Hi, Sameer !
Are you sure open802.11s can be made to support to the Marvell chipsets ?
In any case, open802.11s implementation is certainly incompatible with the
standard OLPC 802.11s driver, since they implemented different versions of
the draft.
It is interesting to read that "Mesh networki

Sameer -
Are you in fact using 802.11s mesh networking on XO-1 machines? Or
are you rather using ad-hoc networking and collaboration features?
Mesh networking is exceptionally difficult to use properly on an X
On a whim, I posted to the open 80211s list to see if the wireless
card on the XO1.5B2 will support open 80211s. Here's the thread.

So I'm reminded of my first handheld computer,
and beaming between friends, my contact information,
like a business card, and sharing applications/ activities
by beaming them to someone in the proximity
by IR.
So fast forward to the WiFi age, and several
friends within a classroom or after school
