Martin, just out of curiosity .. a logical query comes to my mind. Why, and to whom, are packets forwarded, even though no user has joined any channel? Please do not take this as arrogance; I just wish to clear up some logical mind-blocks :D More importantly, this would clear up some of my networking concepts as well :D Thanks in advance for being my teacher :D Thanks and Regards, Ajay <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 2, 2012 at 9:27 PM, Martin Langhoff <<a href="mailto:martin.langhoff@gmail.com" target="_blank">martin.langhoff@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="im">On Wed, May 2, 2012 at 11:07 AM, Ajay Garg <<a href="mailto:ajaygargnsit@gmail.com">ajaygargnsit@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > I believe that the number of packets being forwarded in this, would be > (much) less than in the scenario when the users are actually connected to a > mesh-network-channel. > Kindly affirm/reject my above notion :) </div>I am a very pragmatic man, I would not waste your time if it was a maybe. There is no "much less" packet forwarding. You get 100% packet forwarding. And as Sam points out, the "UI" part of it can be set already with a gconf setting, via OOB. Unfortunatley, I have to agree with Anish's revert :-( Don't have the kernel patch info. Maybe look in git for changes in the libertas driver. It's a pretty low traffic driver, so you'll find it quick. <div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"> cheers, m -- <a href="mailto:martin.langhoff@gmail.com">martin.langhoff@gmail.com</a> <a href="mailto:martin@laptop.org">martin@laptop.org</a> -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
