   It can hook up to all three afaik. One of the cool features of the 
   mesh network is that if ONE laptop can get internet (via a wifi point) 
   then any connected to it via the Mesh Network can get a connection as 
   well. Should work wonders for the kids out in Africa and the like. 

Two more questions (and I'm looking forward to receiving mine): 

1) Can it contact a private (no-beacon) network, if you give it the 
ESSID and hex password? 

2) Any other (wired) network options?
