OPLC - and WPA Security

The automatic OPLC update function works great. I was able to get the command to work, downloaded the latest stable version of the OS (656), and I can now use the computer on my home network to access the internet.
I used the on-line update feature, which required activation of the T-Mobile account, and taking the OLPC for an outing to the closest Borders, but it was worth it. I also submitted a request for a developer key, which should be activated within 24 hours. This lets you boot and, in general, treat the computer like any other.
Next step: figuring out why the version of Fedora that the OLPC organization calls "Sugar" is missing (I think) some key commands in the CLI. More to come on that, as well as what I eventually use this computer for.
