Exactly[1]. I believe it could easily be fast enough to detect APs, but I'm not sure about joining a mesh (because I've never joined one and I don't know how it feels vis-a-vis AP scanning - which is fast). I believe (on vague memory) that NM only scans for APs every so often (20s? 40s?), so even what we're showing people now might be a bit inaccurate; in which case, to be sneaky[2], we could just leave all the icons in the MeshBox as-is when we disconnect, and then the user would see them all update one or so second later when the radio and NM came back online. Alternately, some UI could be introduced in the Mesh view (think like the "Journal is empty" or "Journal shows no matching items") to indicate that the radio was coming back online. > -FFM Martin 1. > On Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 3:37 PM, Martin Dengler wrote: > I then suggested that this would work if the restoration of power > was quick enough that switching to the Neighborhood view could power > back on the radio and update the icons in some acceptable lag. > _______________________________________________ > Sugar mailing list > Sugar@lists.laptop.org > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
