But that explanation digs into<br> the implementation. ;-) I thought it was more important to say that<br> XO-1 802 and XO-1.5 os54 cannot communicate without infrastructure.<br> <div class="im"><br> On Mon, Dec 07, 2009 at 03:51:17PM +0530, Mohit Taneja wrote:<br> > Well then, is there a way to connect XO-1 running Sugar 0.82 and an<br> > XO-1.5 ?<br> <br> </div>As Daniel has said, if you connect them both to an access point then<br> they can communicate through that.<br> <br> It is possible to do it manually without an access point, but this is<br> not available simply, or to anybody who does not have root access to<br> their XO-1. Here is how I did it:<br> <br> * become root<br> * /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop<br> * ifconfig eth0 up<br> * iwlist eth0 scan<br> * note the network name of the XO-1.5 created network, in my case<br> "quozl's network #AC32FF,#FF2B34"<br> * iwconfig eth0 mode ad-hoc essid "quozl's network #AC32FF,#FF2B34"<br> * avahi-autoipd eth0<br> * note the IP address, in my case 169.254.6.0 (it won't get any further<br> because NetworkManager is not there and avahi-autoipd doesn't know it)<br> * stop avahi-autoipd with Control/C<br> * ifconfig eth0 169.254.6.0<br> <br> After this, the XO icons will appear on the Neighbourhood View. On<br> reboot, everything is back to normal.<br> <div><div></div><div class="h5"><br> --<br> James Cameron<br> <a href="http://quozl.linux.org.au/" target="_blank">http://quozl.linux.org.au/</a><br> </div></div></blockquote></div><br>
