For the reasons James pointed out, it's not easily solvable for the "find the best thing to do, quickly". Ad hoc works well for very small groups (<6) -- and in that case you want them all to be in the same channel... to be able to communicate! :-) It's for the "under a tree" scenario, no access points around. If there is a lot of interference, it means there are lots of APs. Just make one AP available to the XOs ;-) m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
