Thanks for getting the discussion rolling. Although it may be obvious, I want
to point out one aspect of OLPC's "mesh" needs that has complicated matters.

Marvell's Armada SoC family is complicated. There are multiple product lines,

It's not a matter of time, it's a matter of the price deployments are willing

Yes, there's no problem as long as you're not suggesting using a different make
or model of card (i.e. swapping only cards originally shipped with XO machines,
not new ones). You can also do that, too, but many microSD cards fail our
qualification testing and may fail much more quick

Yes, that's correct. Multiple valid keys weakens security, since the same

Due to our battery-management system, it is impossible to charge an XO laptop
in less than about 110 minutes. With a few breaks, I have personally fully

I agree with Richard's concern about finding the problem. Have you tried to
differentiate between problems with collaboration and problems with networking
in general? Have you tried different 3G modems and seen different results?
