When you make a call (or answer) then the phone could go automatically in a mode that doesn't participate in the mesh. Solved. Or the signal is so much stronger also when it serves only you? Then working with a laptop on wifi for 8 hours is dangerous? I think there is some FUD in this issue. And the bastards (you know who I mean) spread it well. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
