Hi!<br><br>i installed Sugar 0.84.2 on a stick (beta) according to instruction in <a href="http://wiki.sugarlab.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick" class="EC_EC_postlink">http://wiki.sugarlab.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick</a> ; i have an old machine and so i had to use the "Boot helper" CD.<br><br>My question is:<span style="font-weight: bold;"> how to configure mesh network</span>? I don't see msh0..<br><br><dl class="EC_EC_codebox"><dd><code>[root@localhost /]# ifconfig -a<br>eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:7F:6F:7B:35 <br> BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1<br> RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0<br> TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0<br> collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 <br> RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)<br> Interrupt:11 Base address:0xe000 <br><br>lo Link encap:Local Loopback <br> inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0<br> inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host<br> UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1<br> RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0<br> TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0<br> collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 <br> RX bytes:240 (240.0 b) TX bytes:240 (240.0 b)<br><br>wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:42:2C:D9:43 <br> inet6 addr: fe80::20c:42ff:fe2c:d943/64 Scope:Link<br></code></dd><dd><code> UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1<br> RX packets:5832 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0<br> TX packets:6789 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0<br> collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 <br> RX bytes:2639873 (2.5 MiB) TX bytes:1566783 (1.4 MiB)<br><br>wmaster0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-0C-42-2C-D9-43-61-D1-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 <br> UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1<br> RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0<br> TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0<br> collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 <br> RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)<br></code></dd></dl><br>i have nx9005 with chipset <b>atheros</b> 5414.<br><br><span class="EC_EC_corners-top"><span></span></span><strong></strong><span class="EC_EC_corners-top"><span></span></span><span class="EC_EC_corners-top"><span></span></span>I try to explain better .. to configure a mesh network i keyed:<br><dl class="EC_EC_codebox"><dd><code>iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc essid mesh-olpc channel 6<br>ifconfig wlan0 192.168.3.8</code></dd></dl><br>but
mesh's channel changing and so when i ping the other machine i lost a
