No, the problem you describe is entirely due to the XO-1 using 802.11s
mesh and the XO-1.5 using 802.11g ad-hoc.  The two methods are
incompatible and do not interoperate.  This was always the case.

Sugar can be reconfigured on the XO-1 to add the 802.11g ad-hoc icons,
with consequent confusion for users.  Becomes a question for sugar-devel@

Best is to use an access point.

Not understood, sorry.
