Initially, at least, the expected configuration is that the internal wifi is
used for external access (wan) and the ap is attached to a usb ethernet
device for interanl access (lan).

Great getting support for the list.
No it is a brand new XO 1.75 which have not been unlocked. Is that a must?
What is the typical setup ? As the XO internal Wifi can be turned into a
WiFi I will need a external AP connected to my USBEthernet plug. To get
internet access I will then need another USBEthernet plugin with connection
for wired internet access. It will so nice that the XO internal wifi can act
as a AP making less need for external AP!
Looking forward to future addition. The ability for the XO to server as a
webs erver while providing connection for other XOs is really a great
start - esp for small deployments!
Great weekend to all.

Is your 1.75 locked?
For the 1st installation I did not have the USB-Ethernet-AP connection
plugin.
Your best bet is to have all your interfaces plugging in before booting
the XO, otherwise when we detect the number of interfaces we will miss
installing some components that is vital to using the XS as a router. We
prompt if we detect less than what is required for a router, but I
prefer to have the interfaces appear in the same order as what the
kernel will find if just rebooted. This is more of an issue when your
using 2 usb based interfaces and not using the XO's internal wifi.
Maybe I should use another XO to start all over again!
I would prefer if you could use 12.1.0-21 as a starting point as that is
what we are testing with. If you can't do that, please ensure your
network adaptor is inserted before booting then run the install.
Thanks for the detail step by step. Hope I have better luck the next
time.

Installing.
Does Moodle, registration, etc work as usual with a complete install?
Moodle is left uninstalled, but can be added later if wanted/needed,
instructions to follow.
Thanks for the valuable feedback,
Jerry
