Hi everyone, These are the exact steps that work for mesh. (Especial thanks to the Cozybit people) Doing thos the laptops should see each other in the neighbourhood view.
iwconfig msh0 mode ad-hoc essid "any_ssid" ifconfig msh0 <any_IP_address> The mesh ignores the ssid, so there's no need to pick matching SSIDs for all laptops in the mesh. The IP addresses should belong to the same subnet. So, for two laptops, this will do the trick: -- xo1 -- iwconfig msh0 mode ad-hoc essid "xo1" ifconfig msh0 10.0.0.1 -- xo2 -- iwconfig msh0 mode ad-hoc essid "xo2" ifconfig msh0 10.0.0.2 ping 10.0.0.1 # should work On 3/18/07, MBurns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

To get laptop-to-laptop mesh working, you currently need to do 2 things. 1. with iwconfig, put the laptops into adhoc mode with an arbitrary essid 2. assign the laptop a unique IP address (in the same subnet as all other OLPC laptops you wish to mesh with). 1. Will eventually be a non-manual operation.* 2. Either via 169.254/16 (with Avahi) or as part of the standard config will also be a non-manual fallback. This is just an In The Mean Time fix. I have successfully pinged and networked with 2 B2 machines using the above steps. * Will the operating be a "Connect to network if you can see one, otherwise create an ad-hoc network and sit patiently", or is there some more intelligence to joining networks still in the works? > We also can't see > other XO's in the neighbourhood view > > > > Mike Usmar > > OLPC NZ/Pacific Development Group > > Phone 64 9 271-1907 > > Mobile 64 21-111-5376 > > SKYPE : mikeusmar > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel > > -- Michael Burns * Security Student NET * Oregon State University _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
