What I did find by poking around, by dragging over to the right side third of the mousepad that I get into a different screen where I could switch to neighborhood, group, etc. Activating neighborhood showed three mesh hotspots: mesh 1, mesh 6, and mesh 11. My AP 'hotspot' did not show up in my neighborhood no matter whether it was on channel 1 or channel 11. I googled again this morning (with coffee in me) and found http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Wifi_Connectivity (is this the sugar docs?) and found the instructions for manually connecting: /sbin/iwconfig eth0 mode managed essid <myssid> /sbin/dhclient eth0 That's got me onto the network and I was able to do a software update, getting the browse(r) app among everything else. Next step is to get my devkey. /Blake -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
