The XO-1 will only see Ad-hoc XO-1.5 networks which currently have XOs
connected to them. It will not show all three Mayan icons unless there
is an XO-1.5 or other computers creating three Ad-hoc networks, one with
each of the desired names.
You will have to manually connect the XO-1 to an Ad-hoc network; it will
not automatically do so.
Unless you told them otherwise, by default all the XO-1.5s likely
decided to use Ad-hoc channel 1 if they did not see a preferred access
point, so you should go looking on the 10.1.3 XO-1 for a filled color
circle with a single dot in it. If the XO-1.5s were near an access
point they were taught about, they may have connected to that instead.
The ad-hoc networks on the XO-1 with 10.1.3 will look like the
filled-color (active) networks on the XO-1.5 using the XO-1 user's
colors to indicate that someone is listening on the channel.
It may take up to 30 or 60 seconds(?) from the time that an XO-1.5
created the Ad-hoc network to the point that an XO-1 will decide to
rescan to see what networks are out there. I'm hoping there are no
restrictions on rescanning once an XO-1 decides to connect to a Mesh
network.
Admittedly the graphic
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:Adhoc_network_XO-1.png (available from
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Ad_hoc_Networking) is someone
confusing, since the XO-1 in that screenshot actually is connected {has
parenthesis} to a network which is neither the Ad-hoc network spotted
(on channel 11 - a dot and two lines) nor the Mesh ones.

OK I think I know what happened. First a question... how will the ad
hoc networks look on the XO-1? They were still targets on these.
Maybe I grabbed the wrong usb stick and put 10.1.2 on them again...
but I don't think so.
I didn't see any parenthesis... just that the 2 XO-1s could see each
other fine, but they couldn't see the 1.5s, even with sharing on. I
started the Chat on a 1.5. Maybe it has to start on a 1.0?

try it again when I get back from TX. How did you connect the 1.0 to
the network? They are still showing as access points rather than the
Mayan numerals on the 1.0s. Maybe I need to do the install again.
