Does the wireless LED blink during this test?
Does the test take about two seconds?

If yes to both questions, perhaps an antenna cable has come lose or
broken.  Try it right next to your access point.

If the wireless LED does not blink, then check that all USB devices are
removed, since the wireless device shares the USB on XO-1.

Lastly, the following test proves communication with the wireless device
itself:

ok dev /wlan
ok .properties

If you see a mac-address (e.g. 00 17 c4 .. .. ..) then some level of
communication was possible.
