Hi everyone,<br><br>These are the exact steps that work for mesh. (Especial thanks to the Cozybit people)<br>Doing thos the laptops should see each other in the neighbourhood view.<br><br>iwconfig msh0 mode ad-hoc essid "any_ssid"
<br>ifconfig msh0 <any_IP_address><br><br>The mesh ignores the ssid, so there's no need to pick matching SSIDs<br>for all laptops in the mesh. The IP addresses should belong to the<br>same subnet. So, for two laptops, this will do the trick:
<br><br>-- xo1 --<br>iwconfig msh0 mode ad-hoc essid "xo1"<br>ifconfig msh0 <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://10.0.0.1/" target="_blank">10.0.0.1</a><br><br>-- xo2 --<br>iwconfig msh0 mode ad-hoc essid "xo2"
<br>ifconfig msh0 <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://10.0.0.2/" target="_blank">10.0.0.2</a><br>ping <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://10.0.0.1/" target="_blank">

<br>1. with iwconfig, put the laptops into adhoc mode with an arbitrary essid<br>2. assign the laptop a unique IP address (in the same subnet as all<br>other OLPC laptops you wish to mesh with).<br><br>1. Will eventually be a non-manual operation.*
<br>2. Either via 169.254/16 (with Avahi) or as part of the standard<br>config will also be a non-manual fallback.<br><br>This is just an In The Mean Time fix. I have successfully pinged and<br>networked with 2 B2 machines using the above steps.
<br><br>* Will the operating be a "Connect to network if you can see one,<br>otherwise create an ad-hoc network and sit patiently", or is there<br>some more intelligence to joining networks still in the works?<br>
