I got my XO yesterday, and spent several hours today playing with it, including 
trying to get WPA working... 

>From the Getting Connected webpage at OLPC, 
at www.laptop.org/en/laptop/start/connecting.shtml: 

   "Currently, we do not support WPA-enabled WiFi access points; 
    we anticipate adding WPA support in early 2008." 

The wiki there (wiki.laptop.org/go/WPA_Manual_Setting.html) 
points to a small shell script to work around this by manually adding 
information about a WPA AP to a config file.  I tried it, couldn't get connected, 
dropped my AP back to WEP... and then realized I had MAC filtering enabled too. 

D'oh!  More testing to do...
