Changes

New ad-hoc networking facilities allows you to connect with other Sugar users over wireless in an ad-hoc manner without relying on any wireless networking infrastructure. This is the so called "under-a-tree scenario", where children can work, play, and learn collaboratively in any place imaginable, without requiring any wireless access point, which for many children is unavailable or only available at school. (The One Laptop per Child XO-1 computer provides similar functionality with its firmware-based 802.11s (mesh) network.)[[Features/Ad_hoc_Networking | Ad-hoc networking]] allows Sugar to use this feature with most of the wireless hardware commonly found on computers. Furthermore it allows one to share an Internet connection using the same mechanism. Fore more details see [[Features/Ad_hoc_Networking/Testing|Ad-hoc network testing]].
