MeeGo v1.2 for Netbook
MeeGo is a mobile computing platform resulted from the collaboration of Intel and Nokia. I downloaded MeeGo v1.2 for Netbook and was impressed by the OS.
There is no need to install to test MeeGo. All you need is a 1GB flash drive and Intel Atom based netbook. The instructions are easy to follow.
The bootup is fast and you can access Chromium browser. Unlike Android tablet, I am amazed that 3G USB modem and Adobe flash player work out of the box in MeeGo. Realtek RTL8191SE Wi-Fi chipset is not supported but EnGenius EUB-9703 USB Wi-Fi adapter works. MeeGo also supports any USB flash drives or mouse.
Also, MeeGo will prompt you if there is any software update.
Even the standby on my netbook works in MeeGo which did not work well in Windows 7. The password to resume from standby is meego.

TP-Link TL-PA201 200Mbps HomePlug Powerline Network/Ethernet Adapter
Bought 2 of these TP-Link adapters TL-PA201 for use. Found out the Pair & Reset buttons on both powerline adapters don't work as documented in the manual.
If you touch Pair or Reset button, PLC LED won't light up anymore. To resolve this issue, you'll need to download and install WinPcap_4_1_1.exe and Powerline utility setup.exe on a computer connected to one powerline adapter.
As shown under Privacy tab, change "Unknown Networkname" under Private Network Name to a different name eg HomeTech and click Set Local Device Only. Don't use the default HomePlugAV since its network type is Public. It will be more secure to set network type as Private. You'll see the PLC LED on the adapter lights up. Repeat the same procedures for the other adapter.
On the QoS tab, you can choose the type of traffic.
On the Diagnostics tab, you can check the current firmware which is INT6400-MAC-4-1-4102-00-3679-20090724-FINAL-C.
The lights on all LEDs (PWR, PLC & ETH) should be up even with one powerline adapter switched on & connected to network. After 20s, PLC LED will turn off if it can't communicate with another adapter due to power saving.

But, the Broadcom chipset BCM4329 in iPad 2 is not even listed in Wi-Fi Alliance.
