[Sugar-devel] [FEATURE] Add Sugar Ad-hoc networks

[Simon Schampijer]

Hi,

have just entered a new feature page for the Sugar Ad-hhoc networks, 
which is being proposed as a feature for 0.90.

The Feature will add three default Ad-hoc networks, for channel 1, 6 and 
11. They will be represented with designated icons in the neighborhood 
view. This will mimic the mesh behavior on devices where mesh hardware 
is not available and make the "under a tree"-scenario possible in those 
cases. If Sugar sees no "known" network (the learner has not been 
connected to an currently available Access Point before) when it starts, 
it does autoconnect to an Ad-hoc network. First we try if there is an 
Ad-hoc network that is used by other learners in the area, if not we 
default to channel 1.

In the page you have links to previous discussions, the design to the 
code already in review and a testing plan.
