Hi everyone,

These are the exact steps that work for mesh. (Especial thanks to the
Cozybit people)
Doing thos the laptops should see each other in the neighbourhood view.

iwconfig msh0 mode ad-hoc essid "any_ssid"
ifconfig msh0 <any_IP_address>

The mesh ignores the ssid, so there's no need to pick matching SSIDs
for all laptops in the mesh.  The IP addresses should belong to the
same subnet.  So, for two laptops, this will do the trick:

-- xo1 --
iwconfig msh0 mode ad-hoc essid "xo1"
ifconfig msh0 10.0.0.1

-- xo2 --
iwconfig msh0 mode ad-hoc essid "xo2"
ifconfig msh0 10.0.0.2
ping 10.0.0.1    # should work
