This is the same for a booted CD:SoaSv5-20110612
*It takes much longer to get journal to display on f3 when the Ethernet 
cable is plugged in.
*This seems to be related to the huge sets of data being downloaded from 
the jabber. (over 200 avitars fill the screen.)
This only occurs on sugar 0.92.1. Sugar 0.88.1 displays 10-20 avitars at 
same time. There must be a different method of broadcast from the 
jabber, being used for 0.92.1
*wireless AP (connected with nm-connection-editor) works for surf and 
IRC but Jabber remains empty when only wireless connection is used.
