Huge +1 on not reinventing the wheel and using upstream's capabilities for meshing*. AFAIK the only way to use the open11s support in the mac80211 stack on the XO-1 is with a thin firmware and the libertas_tf driver, is this option available for the new chip in the XO-1.5? I'm guessing this device also uses a fullmac driver. *: I am aware that OLPC's efforts in 11s predate proper support in mac80211 and thus were the only option. > - Ed > _______________________________________________ > Devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel > -- -Andrés _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
