Re: IP addressing + XO MPP connectivity

Daniel, If you are getting a self-assigned IP address, it is because the laptop is not discovering the MPP. This is probably due to a short cut in the MPP discovery process. The original process was: - Discover the MPP by broadcasting an MPP discovery request using the MPP anycast MAC

IP addressing + XO MPP connectivity

2009-07-06 Thread Daniel Drake
Hi, When connecting to a MPP-based mesh, the XO ignores the IP address from the MPP DHCP server and instead picks one using autoipd. Does anyone know the motivation behind this? http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/src/nm-device-802-11-mesh-olpc.c?h=nm-0-6-olpc I'm
