Could such an implementation be considered for the OLPC OS? Sugar relies on NetworkManager to handle all the dirty details of connectivity handling, so the best place for that question is networkmanager-list [1].

Re: Rapid DHCP
using dnsmasq instead of bind also speeds up lookups On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 11:07 PM, Sascha Silbe sascha-ml-reply-to-201...@silbe.org wrote: Excerpts from Sridhar Dhanapalan's message of Fri Jul 29 17:51:30 +0200 2011: Here's an article that tries to explain why Mac OS is so much faster at connecting to networks than Linux and Windows: http://cafbit.com/entry/rapid_dhcp_or_how_do Interesting technique; thanks for sharing the link!

Rapid DHCP
Here's an article that tries to explain why Mac OS is so much faster at connecting to networks than Linux and Windows: http://cafbit.com/entry/rapid_dhcp_or_how_do Could such an implementation be considered for the OLPC OS? XOs go on and off the network all the time, as power management kicks in and the machines move in and out of AP range (or switch to a different AP). This is a disruptive process, and speeding it up would be welcome. Sridhar Sridhar Dhanapalan Engineering Manager One Laptop per Child Australia M: +61 425 239 701 E: srid...@laptop.org.au A: G.P.O.
