Hi Rafael,

The mesh interface is activated when the main interface (eth0) is turned on, either by starting/joining an ad-hoc network or by associating to an access point. The following steps will be sufficient to start the mesh: iwconfig msh0 mode ad-hoc essid "any_ssid" ifconfig msh0 <any_IP_address> The mesh ignores the ssid, so there's no need to pick matching SSIDs for all laptops in the mesh. The IP addresses should belong to the same subnet. So, for two laptops, this will do the trick: -- xo1 -- iwconfig msh0 mode ad-hoc essid "xo1" ifconfig msh0 10.0.0.1 -- xo2 -- iwconfig msh0 mode ad-hoc essid "xo2" ifconfig msh0 10.0.0.2 ping 10.0.0.1 # should work

Any application that works on eth0 should work on msh0. Just bind it to the msh0 address. For instance, if you want to run apache in the xo1 of the above example, you would just add the following line to httpd.conf Listen 10.0.0.1:80 If you are looking for something mesh specific, look at http://www.cozybit.com/projects/lsmesh/ , an application to generate mesh maps.

Highly recommended to update to 303. It includes some bug fixes specific to mesh. Please let me know if you encounter any problems. Cheers, Javier _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
