[Testing] Any thing need to update on MPP for mesh network?

[Kim Quirk]

Michail,
You're correct and I hadn't updated the test release page to state that (I
just did). Build 505 is missing some files for IP connectivity. It shouldn't
be used for network testing.

I was able to use 502 to get on the net and to get on a mesh created by an
XO that was connected to the net via an AP. This was the first time I saw
that work and it was 'seemless' if I booted the second XO after the first
was up and running properly... but the collaboration pieces were not there
to show a shared activity.

I have been told that there are collaboration fixes as well as the the
missing network manager pieces in the next build, which is due out this
afternoon. There is also quite a bit of pieces of the power management
system. We are all hoping there is enough functionality to designate the
next build as our RC3: it needs to be able to connect to an AP; as well as a
School or XO mesh; and to be able to see other XOs in the neighborhood view.
It should have DCON working...

I will send out an email to the testing group when we are happy that the
release meets the basic criteria to be designated RC3.

Regards,
Kim
