>From looking through the code, the most elegant & supportable solution seems to be to be to extend the results returned by NetworkManager's "get networks" dbus interface (code in /usr/share/sugar/shell/hardware/nmclient.py) to include a number of 'statically configured' networks from ~olpc/.configuration/networks. Once nmclient's datastructure is extended in this way, the rest of the UI and nmclient code should work 'as is' to display these networks in the mesh view and allow connections to them. Another alternative is to simply hack some dbus-send commands into rc.local to force NetworkManager to connect to the proper network. Ricardo, Blake's asked for more information to help work on the NetworkManager side of this. Is it just a cloaked AP, or is there WEP/WPA/WPA2 involved, etc? --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
