Hello everyone,

Our repair center has been receiving several computers stating that they 
cannot connect to the schools wifi network. When testing the XOs on our 
office we also can't get them to connect properly. The XOs can see the 
networks in the Diagnostic mode and in Sugar or Gnome, but they just 
never connect to either open or password protected networks.

Here is the messages output while trying to connect:
