[Sugar-devel] GPA XS Report

[Anurag Goel]

So here is the current hardware set up:

We have an ethernet cable from the main school access point that is
connected to each individual computer in the lab as well as the XS. However,
we are currently not using the second ethernet port on the XS. The wiki page
suggests connecting a wireless access point to the second ethernet port on
the XS. However the school will not allow us to bring in our own
router/access point of some kind as it will disrupt their current set up.
Hardwiring the computers to the XS is also not very practical.
