No Wi-Fi?

Ok, here is a partial update to some of the problems I was encountering with our XO's. One of my problems was that we don't have a Wi-Fi connection here at Aziza's and I couldn't get the computers online. I have now solved that by buying an $8 USB/Ethernet adaptor and at first it wasn't working, but after rebooting twice I was able to get online.

Another problem was that I couldn't see the USB Flash when it was connected to the XO laptops. Again, after rebooting a couple of times and Initializing the Flash to FAT32 format, i can now access the flash and this solves some of my issues and should help me in the future with updates and downloading software.

So, I still haven't solved some of the problems with the frozen keyboard and touch-pad, but I should note that they work fine with a USB keyboard and mouse. This is what i use on my personal XO because the keyboard is too small for my hands and I have always preferred the mouse to the touch-pad, but in the event that people out there have any problems with their keyboard or touch-pad, try plugging in external USB devices and they should work fine.
I also want to point out that the folks at laptop/support.org have been extremely helpful and have responded to my questions very fast. It is I that has not been able to make enough free-time to dedicate myself to reading all the available data out there regarding the XO's and get myself up to speed regarding the way these things work, but little by little I am getting myself familiar with them and the challenges don't seem as daunting as they seemed last week.
