Mesh Networking: (Re: [Testing] [OLPC New Zealand] os873 on XO-1.5 and os873 on XO-1 -07/15/2011) testing@lists.laptop.org 07/18/2011

XO-1.5's do not have Mesh networking support, so they use 802.11 Ad-hoc
networks.  XO-1's default to Mesh networks at the moment for compatibility,
because that is what they historically have done.
Once an XO-1.5 starts an Ad-hoc network, the XO-1's will spot that network
within a minute or two, and use the same Mayan numeral as the XO-1.5 to
indicate its presence.  If all the XOs leave an Ad-hoc network it
disappears; but Network Manager/Sugar cache its presence for a while in case
a scan accidentally missed a network.
When an XO-1 sees an Ad-hoc networks they are all filled in as "occupied",
because an XO-1 does not show the unfilled variants to allow an XO-1 to
start them.
This behavior has been around since OLPC build 10.1.3 (860) & Sugar 0.90,
and is described at http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Ad_hoc_Networking
I believe XO-1's can be adjusted to default to Ad-hoc as well if desired

• Sugar 0.92.1 has a bug with jabber.sugarlabs.org

 The large number of avitars being sent cause long delays on starting activities. dbus timeouts. 
 Unfortunately CP/Network does not start here so it is not possible to delete the jabber entry. 
 It seems to be possible to do this with the old terminal OLPC command: 

Commands:

 sugar-control-panel -l ( Lists commands )

 sugar-control-panel -s jabber ""
        suggested by Cerlyn  ("" is null string which forces salut )

To check setting change:
 sugar-control-panel -g jabber (which lists current setting to see if it is changed. Shows blank line)

• MY Settings/About Me/ click on different color avitar; restart; gdm log in and jabber will not be a problem

after using the Ad-hoc connection; disconnecting and connecting to the Access Point; you must restart sugar to get jabber to reconnect.
