One further piece of info before answering your questions:

ifconfig on B has NO "inet addr" line - otherwise appears ok (apart from 
the previously mention lack of an eth0 entry).

I'm not sure what you're asking here. I should emphasize that I have no 
"access point" - just 2 XOs.

If I keep repeating the "test /wlan" command on either machine (both at the 
ok prompt), the RSSI number keeps changing and the number of results can be 
1, 2 or 3.

Both XOs produce a sensible mac-address.
