Father of OLPC XO-1 Arrived
My One Laptop Per Child XO-1 arrived today! I haven’t had any time to work with it so you will all have to wait to hear my thoughts on it. Some things that jumped right out though include…
- The keyboard was designed for children (duh!) and is really small. Wow!
So far I haven’t been able to get it to join a WPA2 WiFi network.See comments below.- It’s really cute.
To tide everyone over, here are some pictures of Mazie holding it. She’s a kid after all! :-)
Aww.. she’s so cute with her XO. Congrats!
Hi,
My XO-1 arrived yesterday. According to the OLPC wiki, WPA support is coming in 2008, so for now it’s WEP only :-/.

You will likely need to flash the OS to 653 before you will be able to connect to WPA2. I did that and it works for me now.

@Michael,
Thanks for the info! That worked perfect. I’m actually typing this response from my XO-1 via WPA2. Now if the 653 build just made the keyboard bigger! :-)
