XO-1.5's do not have Mesh networking support, so they use 802.11 Ad-hoc

I believe XO-1's can be adjusted to default to Ad-hoc as well if desired

1) You can enable ad-hoc networking on recent XO-1 builds with (your neighbour hood view will be populated with the three new Mayan numbered adhoc icons as well as the usual three mesh icons):
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/sugar/network/adhoc -t bool true
2) Unfortunately I am not aware of current builds properly supporting disabling
(e.g. a gconf setting would be nice) mesh network on XO-1 hardware…
There was talk and some patches floating about, but I'm not sure anything landed.
The closest seems to be the below terminal command, but it does not survive a power cycle, or sleep/wake cycle :
( Maybe there is some power script this could be added to for folks who want to disable mesh permanently (until we get something more elegant in place for the future)?
su
echo 0 > /sys/class/net/eth0/lbs_mesh
