I have been playing with making mesh connections friendly in NM. Joining a wifi mesh works well - the SSID shows up, and you can click on it or have it auto-connect. The network is configured as ad-hoc, no IP4, noIP6, and I created a dispatcher script that sets up BATMAN-ADV when a mesh connects.
The problem is when no other nodes are up yet. For instance, this happens every time I lead a meetup on mesh networking. I am the first one there! I can use nmcli to connect, but it does not show in the GUI to connect by clicking. I can understand why only visible SSIDs would show in the GUI normally. Is there a property I missed to make the ad-hoc network show up even when no currently visible? Someone has got to be first. This is kind of in-between managed client, and ap mode. _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
