There seems to be a lot of speculation, so I'll add more technical
details on what Terry and I have been investigating.
1. sometimes, an active scan by the XO-1 does not have the access
point listed in the scan results, despite the XO-1 transmitting an
acknowledgement to the access point,
2.
This is all very interesting, particularly when James Cameron stated,
...all it takes is for two active scans to miss the access point. All
the years I've been working with these things, I really had no idea. And
did I inadvertently do the correct workaround?
I've got a couple of XO-1's that
G'day Anne,
Yes, a manual sudo iwlist eth0 scan in Terminal, or an iwlist eth0
scan in console, until the AP appears, is all it takes to fix. You
derived an independent workaround for the same problem!
If you have some XO-1 that work and some that don't, then you might
have one broken antenna
I've seen XO-1s randomly drop off the AP in Paraguay.
I *think* we solved it by disabling 802.11s (the mesh network). This can
be done at boot time by setting a parameter of the libertas kernel module.
Sorry for being vague, it's been a long time ago.
