Here's an article that tries to explain why Mac OS is so much faster
at connecting to networks than Linux and Windows:

Could such an implementation be considered for the OLPC OS? XOs go on
and off the network all the time, as power management kicks in and the
machines move in and out of AP range (or switch to a different AP).
This is a disruptive process, and speeding it up would be welcome.
