Indeed. Someone powered up the Classmate yesterday while I was doing development on a different machine. The moment it connected to the robot's wireless network it complained about the IP address already being in use -- which it was, because the Driver Station had configured the programming laptop to the .9 address as well. I immediately started getting approximately a second of communication lag between the DS and the robot. Shutting down the Classmate restored everything to normal.
