XO-1.5's do not have Mesh networking support, so they use 802.11 Ad-hoc
networks. XO-1's default to Mesh networks at the moment for compatibility,
because that is what they historically have done.
Once an XO-1.5 starts an Ad-hoc network, the XO-1's will spot that network
within a minute or two, and use the same Mayan numeral as the XO-1.5 to
indicate its presence. If all the XOs leave an Ad-hoc network it
disappears; but Network Manager/Sugar cache its presence for a while in case
a scan accidentally missed a network.
When an XO-1 sees an Ad-hoc networks they are all filled in as "occupied",
because an XO-1 does not show the unfilled variants to allow an XO-1 to
start them.
This behavior has been around since OLPC build 10.1.3 (860) & Sugar 0.90,
and is described at http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Ad_hoc_Networking
I believe XO-1's can be adjusted to default to Ad-hoc as well if desired,
but Simon would be the authority there.
Thank you for the Nice explanation.
It would be nice to have a control panel switch to make mesh or Ad-hoc
the default.
Then an XO-1 could initiate contact also.

With preliminary testing of Chat 70 collaboration using os873 on XO-1 and
os873 on XO-1.5
Thanks a lot for testing and feedback! Your help is much appreciated.
Just one question, I don't understand one section of your report.
Could you explain the following in more detail?
XO-1 Mesh Network 1>AD hoc Network 1 ; AD hoc Network 6; AD hoc
Network 11 no avitars
XO-1.5 AD hoc 1 on >shows as 4th connection point on X0-1 after 2 min
XO-1.5 Click on AD hoc 1 and see avitars?
Not Connected to Wireless AP: (tested today)
os873 on the XO-1 displays different icons in the f1 neighborhood for the
three mesh networks, than the XO-1.5 does.
(2 concentric circles and a dot on the XO-1 and a single circle with a dot
and underlines ;mayan? symbols; on the XO-1.5)
In XO-1.5 connect to Circle and dot; after about 2 minutes it (4th icon:
named Ad-hoc Network 1) appears on the XO-1. Connect to it on XO-1 and the
others laptops Avitar appears in both F1 neighborhoods. Now sharing of
Chat-70 is possible.
Disconnect on both; XO-1 tries to connect to all 3 Mesh Networks connects
to Mesh Network 1
No connection to XO-1.5
Icons remain on XO-1 screen after disconnect. After connecting to all three
on XO-1.5' have 6 icons on XO-1 screen.
Synopsis: connections only work if initiated from XO-1.5 to the XO-1 but
not the other way around.
There is no indication on the XO-1 which AD-hoc network is active on XO-1.5
before connecting to it.
Why does it work this way?
Tom Gilliard
Names:
On XO-1: Mesh Network 1, 6, 11
On XO-1.5: AD-hoc Network 1, 6, 11
Thanks,
Daniel
