I would recommend not making the patch; I think I found it confusing only because I didn't know that random impacted link-local. But do we still default to channel 1 if no school server is found? -walter On 9/18/07, Zarro Boogs per Child [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: #3593: Mesh channel

Dan, Please move this out to FRS and we can continue some testing and discussion as to whether the default should be channel 1. If two laptops under a tree come up about the same time I think it is conceivable (maybe it will be the normal case) that they each start a mesh on different channels
