Sugar Neighbourhood View contains the results of a scan of the IEEE 802.11g signals being received. If you have only the three mesh network points, then there are no other signals available. If you like, and you seem like the sort of person who can use a command line, given the amount of typing you just did ... you can also use the Linux command "iwlist eth0 scan" at the root prompt in the Terminal activity, to obtain a precise technical description of the wireless scan results. This will show to you that Sugar is not hiding anything from you. It may be possible to connect the underlying Linux operating system to the internet through your mobile telephone. But this is not a Sugar problem. The general sequence is to connect the telephone, load the appropriate kernel module (usually something like the option module), and configure pppd. The kernel you have might not have the option module available. The laptop you have might not have pppd installed.

Hi To be specific in what? Look, I want to connect to a wifi network, but there are hardly any WIFI hotspot in India. There exists some USB modem wireless connections. Can I connect to them, without owning an USB modem. The rates are very high these days. Sugar network window(Neighbour view) never show up any wireless point except the three MESH network points(1,6,11). I want to connect to the internet, Without spending on USB modems.Is there really any way in which I can connect to the internet wirelessly and find some Wireless Points.I also want to know more about SSID, how can I obtain them? How can I connect to internet then, to any Wireless Points or a USB modem connection. Is there any way in which I can catch USB modem signals and connect through them? How else can I connect to internet via my mobile phone? I have it internet enabled.

Yes, but only you would be able to locate the services and products. > There are USB modems wireless connections, Can I connect to them too, > WITHOUT actually owning an wireless USB modem? No. But, if someone who owns a wireless USB modem (a mobile telephone network modem), and they are willing to share that access, then there is a complex method available that uses an XO as a gateway for multiple others. It is a function of Linux. This is handled in the XS, server-devel mailing list. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Can you be more specific about your connectivity needs?

[Sugar-devel] Wireless connection
Hello, I live in India, there are not so many hotspots here. Is there really, any way with which I can connect wirelessly to the internet without USB modems? There are USB modems wireless connections, Can I connect to them too, WITHOUT actually owning an wireless USB modem? Please Try To Help. Thanks in advance. -- Abhishek Indoria OLPC Support, Volunteer Driven ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
