Thank you, thank you, thank you. This gives me a 'starting point'.
To 'scan-wifi', the "bad" XO-1s return lines like this:
RSSI: 0 SSID: Channel 1
...
RSSI: 0 SSID: Channel 1
RSSI: 41 SSID: Channel 1
To 'scan-wifi', the "good" XO-1s return lines like this:
RSSI: 0 SSID: Channel 1
... <more such lines than the "bad" XO-1s>
RSSI: 0 SSID: Channel 1
RSSI: 85 SSID: 2WIRE241 Channel 11
Note that both the "bad" XO1-s and the "good" XO-1s __will__ connect via
the (non-adhoc) mesh interface -- to me that says the silicon is working
-- though I do not know if the AP radio signal in the "bad" XO-1s is too
attenuated (bad antenna connection?) to be detected.
Thanks again, mikus
