Just checking... Where is the ssid "mesh1" coming from? Are you changing the ssid in ifcfg-wmesh0? Or are both active on the XS-on-XO at the same time? Are you using an AA? > 2) I am seeing similar behavior with a mesh antenna (prototype black > box with screw-on antenna) in Bhagmalpur > (http://bhagmalpur.wordpress.com/) > > I take it that this change of behavior is due to dropping support for > mesh in newer builds? Any way to change this on the server to gain > expected behavior ? More or less, yes. What is happening is when sugar detects an adhoc network it assumes that the network is link-local and never tries to use dhcp to gain a network address. If you can switch over gnome and connect to "school-mesh-0" you should see the network info has been supplied by the dhcp server on the XS-XO. Once in sugar your back to using 169.254....
