Harpreet,

you've got the build details backwards. "201 customised" is XO-1.5,
and "802" is for XO-1.

That strategy won't work. Try this

 - In the XO-1, you wil need a newer build -- download and install
10.1.2 (see http://wiki.laptop.org/ )

 - For consistency, install 10.1.2 on the XO-1.5 (note: it's a
different image do download!)

 - With both laptops running 10.1.2...

 - Start with the XO-1.5, use the "create a new network" option from the frame.

 - On the XO-1, in the neighbourhood view, you should see a new
network with the name of the other XO. Select it...

 - Now you're both in a shared ad-hoc network.

Yes.  The Telepathy interface works identically over all kinds of
networks.  You do not need to worry about which kind of network is in use.

Hi,
I tried the instructions from the link -
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Ad_hoc_Networking
The XO 1.5 was connected itself to Mesh Network 1 and on hovering on the
Network Icon, te message pops saying "Connected to simple mesh IP Address:
169.254.6.47"

The XO 1 laptop shows a yellow dot hovering over which shows the name
"olpc-mesh" and hovering over the network icon shows
"olpc-mesh connected".
Create a new wireless network
Channel 1:
IP Address: 169.254.10.32

But when I start a new Record activity on XO 1.5 and share it with my
neighbourhood, it doesn't show up in the neighbourhood of XO 1. Am I doing
something wrong?

Only the XO-1s does have mesh network capabilities. To share between 
XO-1s and XO-1.5s you have to use Ad-hoc networks. You can create one by 
using the option in the frame wireless device.

[Sugar-devel] Mesh networking not working in my XO's

2010-09-27 Thread Harpreet Sareen
Hi,
I have tow XO laptops (XO 1 and XO 1.5) which I want to connect together
through mesh networking. I currently don't use WiFi hotspot/Access
Point/Wired Network for the internet rather 3G EVDO. So, unfortunately, I
cannot connect both these XO's through the XO -- AP -- XO. I had to consider
the XO -- XO mesh for networking.
XO 1 shows only one dot in the Neighbourhood named as "olpc-mesh" and XO 1.5
shows three dots namely, "MeshNetwork1", "MeshNetwork6" and "MeshNetwork11"
in the Neighbourhood. I tried sharing the "Record" activity between the XO's
by starting the activity on XO 1.5 but XO 1.5 is not discovered in the
neighbourhood of XO 1.0.
What could be the problem or how it could be troubleshooted? Why isn't the
laptop being discovered int the neghbourhood?

It is my understanding (but I might be wrong) that the XO's wireless card
implements 802.11s in hardware.

There is/was a 'soft MAC' project which now has code in the Linux kernel
(>=2.6.26):

Re: [Sugar-devel] Mesh

2009-11-04 Thread David Van Assche
The telepathy-salut connection works on the basis of Avahi (sometimes
called Bonjour) Sometimes also called local-xmpp, and telepathy itself
creates the connections by selecting the connection manager via
Mission control through a dbus method called "RequestConnection" Salut
is kind of an untrusted protocol,in that it doesnt require a password,
like gabble does. Makes it great for ease of use for schools. For
example, Guadalinex-edu has a small app that puts users into groups by
creating local link Multi user chatrooms (teacher creates  these) and
students then join their relevant classroom from a selection of
classrooms/subjects. The association to the MUC then allows for lots
of cool telepathy/xmpp stuff, like transmission of configuration
files, pause,play video/ausio files, switching on/off of certain
software automatically, dtube remote control (teacher can powerdown
laptops, lower voume remotely, lots of other remote control stuff)
Dtubes are really quite awsome, we just haven't thought about all the
possible uses yet.

Telepathy itself could use pretty much any connection manager, though
the XOs are limited to using gabble when there is a jabber server
present, and Salut if not. The actual mesh connection is done on a
hardware level though and is totally unique to the XO as in no other
laptop that I know of has working mesh network capable cards. I think
maybe classmate has capable meshing on some level but its not really
switched on. Unfortunately its meshing suffers from uncontrolled
multicasting, which quickly saturates the the airwaves and brings down
communication with 10+ laptops meshing. It's a cool concept though
but realistically the implementation isn't all that great... not that
I'm saying I could do any better at all :-) Just stating some
observations...

kind Regards,

Yes.  All of the Telepathy protocols require that there be a working local
network connection.  They operate on top of a network such as wired
ethernet, wifi, or mesh.

Of course, the interesting thing about mesh networks (and also "ad hoc"
networks) is that they are very easy to create, because all you need are
the laptops.

The connection you are looking for, between the wireless mesh network and
the graphical representation in the Neighborhood View, is the Presence
Service [1] and Telepathy-Salut [2].

These pages are in English, but we can help you with translation if
language is a problem.  This is a complicated subject, so please feel free
to ask more questions.

[Sugar-devel] Mesh

2009-10-14 Thread Cecilia Abalde
Hi,
I have read a lots of documents which explains what kind of packages the
mesh has got, for example, beacon, probe response, probe request, the ones
for discovery the path.
But i can't join all this information and understand how one XO can see
another XO in its neighbourhood.

I hope you can understand me and help me.

Regards,
Cecilia
