Active antennas don't work. Mesh Point functionality doesn't work. You probably don't want these in the documentation. Access points are not built into the school server. The wording suggests that a school server is the only way to establish "network connectivity" > http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/ConnectingNetwork Simple mesh does not get you connected to the internet School server mesh doesn't work (we don't ship active antennas anywhere) Wired network connections are not established from network view The mesh icons are not MPPs, they are not channels. You see 3 mesh channels regardless of how many MPPs or mesh nodes there are in the area. Saying a network is "locked" is not really familiar terminology to anyone.. You would say it has security. APs in network view no longer turn white. You have to look in the frame. Screenshots that show the frame are out of date. e.g. the AP circle now appears bottom right, not left. Talks about "Hex Converter" but doesn't say what that is. Also I feel you want a lot more description about keys and encryption schemes if you want to cut down on G1G1 wireless support tickets. When connected to an AP with no school server, you can collaborate without jabber. It uses multicast over salut. It is rare that you would be collaborating using jabber unless you are on a network backed by a school server, since you probably don't have a jabber server available and will not have input the address on the XOs. > > XO -- Anne Gentle ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote these: > http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/XO/GiveMeTheInternet Jabber server is unrelated to internet connectivity. Internet access does not work over the mesh. The XO cannot recognize network names that contain spaces, --> not true! "media lab 802.11" works fine When you connect the XO to a wireless network, the XO becomes a network point. This means that other XO laptops within about 100 meters can connect to the Internet through your XO laptop. --> not true Similarly, if a nearby XO is connected to the Internet, you can connect to that XO laptop and the Internet through the other XO when using the mesh network. --> not true > http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/XO/Troubleshooting Is your WiFi router configured to support 802.11g? --> doesn't make sense to me. Is this saying we don't support 802.11b? Are the access point settings not in channels 1, 6, or 11? --> I don't think theres any point documenting old bugs. The XO section also repeatedly mentioned the white rim, but remember this only appears in the frame. > http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/XO/ExternalHardware > http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/XO/RouterTable I don't like pointing people at that table. It's so incomplete, includes so few failure cases, lacks many details, etc. The XO section also repeatedly mentioned the white rim, but remember this only appears in the frame. _______________________________________________ Library mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/library
