Sorry, late to this party, but I've finally got a recent build with Tomeu's Ad-hoc network support installed on 2 XO's here for testing (no luck with SoaS-on-XO-1 builds yet, but F11-for-XO-1 build 5 works well). OK... some quick screen grabs and discussion.

Here's what it currently looks like for an XO:

Hmmm... 2 grey circles... Hovering over both 'grey circles' shows this same palette:

1) Is it a bug that there are 2 'grey circles' showing the same "Create new wireless network" entry?

2) The empty secondary palette strips feels like a bug, like some text is missing. Should it be used to show the title describing the palette? Perhaps something like "Wireless network\nInactive" would be a good?

3) Showing grey device icons feels like the old NM bugs we used to get, and IMO is a bit of device icon design flaw going way back. Inactive/disabled network devices should be just simple white outlines, as per other devices when not in use.

4) Obviously a new icon for when in ad-hoc mode will help, I'll try to make a few mock-ups and see if any work out.

Really great to see we have 'kids under a tree' scenario covered again in Sugar – big high five for Tomeu! :-) Looks like we might need to try to get some feature dispensation from Mr Release Manager to apply some polish now we are sliding into the feature freeze.
