Hi all. I'll ask this straight :: """ Is there an already tested-cum-recommended method, that could disable mesh-network, both during reboots and resume-from-suspend? """ Possible options (not tested by me) :: a) A driver, encapsulating the patch at <a href="http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/libertas-dev/2007-June/000448.html">http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/libertas-dev/2007-June/000448.html</a> (as per <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/pub/firmware/libertas/RELEASE_NOTES">http://dev.laptop.org/pub/firmware/libertas/RELEASE_NOTES</a>) Query : How can I ascertain if this patch is present on a particular XO-1? b) (For Reboot) :: Add the bootstrap script 'echo 0 > "/sys/class/net/eth0/lbs_mesh"' in '/etc/init.d/NetworkMaanager'. (For Resume-Upon-Suspend) :: Add the disable_mesh.sh script (at <a href="http://download.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/testing/dx3/rpms/source/dextrose-platform-2-2.fc14.src.rpm">http://download.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/testing/dx3/rpms/source/dextrose-platform-2-2.fc14.src.rpm</a>) in "/etc/powerd/postresume.d". Query : While the (For Reboot) case is guaranteed to work stably every single time, can the same be said about (For Resume-Upon-Suspend) ? c) Any other unknown in-the-dark hack.

There's means though to run specific scripts on suspend/resume if that sort of thing is necessary. Peter </blockquote></div>
