You are on the right track - the current XS configuration doesn't know what to do with the wireless interface the machine has, so it'll probably ignore it. And tyou can use xs-swapnics even on a single-nic machine, to set the only nic to be eth1. Some of it is documented in the README (README.networking perhaps) for the xs-config package. > With a basic XS install, the server seemed to connect to the external > network fine, and also created a school-mesh-0 wireless network > which was visible from my mac - but not seemingly from the XO. school-mesh-0 probably came from the XO though, when it attempts to setup a mesh connection ot'll send frames that your machine may have interpreted erroneously as an AP. > So the next thing I tried was connecting the WAP to the XS ethernet > interface.

Good step, combine with xs-swapnics and you'll be on the right track I think ... hope that helps! m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
