It's worth noting that half the battle can be won by overriding the following XO-1 specific line in OLPC OS Builder's kspost.50.xo1-tweaks.inc: gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type bool --set /desktop/sugar/network/adhoc false Setting this to "true", or letting it default to such will show the Ad-hoc networks by default on XO-1. It also will cause XO-1's to default to Ad-hoc if no preferred network is found. The mesh networks will still be there for manual use; but right now they seem semi-broken anyway on 12.1.0 as we attempt to connect to "Mesh Network 0" and don't set a channel on the Interface. <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 2, 2012 at 10:29 AM, Martin Langhoff <<a href="mailto:martin.langhoff@gmail.com" target="_blank">martin.langhoff@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div class="im">On Wed, May 2, 2012 at 10:18 AM, Ajay Garg <<a href="mailto:ajaygargnsit@gmail.com">ajaygargnsit@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > Good News. > > I managed to get this working (albeit via changes in sugar). > > The details are at :: > <a href="http://git.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/mainline/commit/4ac1a5300f4c43608b0f009a23d966d404a15632" target="_blank">http://git.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/mainline/commit/4ac1a5300f4c43608b0f009a23d966d404a15632</a> </div>The patch seems fairly wrong to me. You are hiding the mesh icons in sugar, but the mesh is active. Packet forwarding is still happening. One of the top reasons we stopped using mesh is because it saturates the RF spectrum, which is a bad thing to do when you have many users in a small space (ie: in a school). You had the mesh disable trick working on F11, and (I assume) happy users of that feature. With this, the feature is broken, but you're making the UI look right... cheers, <div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"> 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> _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Devel@lists.laptop.org">Devel@lists.laptop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel" target="_blank">http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
