If I connect to mesh1, I get a 172.18.xxx.xxx address, and the XO registers. Just checking... Where is the ssid mesh1 coming from? Are you changing the ssid in ifcfg-wmesh0? Or are both active on the XS-on-XO at the same time? Are you using an AA? 2) I am seeing similar behavior with a mesh antenna (prototype black box with screw-on antenna) in Bhagmalpur (http://bhagmalpur.wordpress.com/) I take it that this change of behavior is due to dropping support for mesh in newer builds? Any way to change this on the server to gain expected behavior ? More or less, yes. What is happening is when sugar detects an adhoc network it assumes that the network is link-local and never tries to use dhcp to gain a network address. If you can switch over gnome and connect to school-mesh-0 you should see the network info has been supplied by the dhcp server on the XS-XO. Once in sugar your back to using 169.254 Jerry ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

How are you connecting to school-mesh-0, and how are you connecting to mesh1? I have never seen either of those terms appear in the UI - can you be more specific, take a screenshot, etc? 2) I am seeing similar behavior with a mesh antenna (prototype black box with screw-on antenna) in Bhagmalpur (http://bhagmalpur.wordpress.com/) I take it that this change of behavior is due to dropping support for mesh in newer builds? Any way to change this on the server to gain expected behavior ? When you say newer builds which versions are you referring to specifically? We have not intentionally or knowingly decreased the mesh support since early 2010 when we dropped support for Mesh Point Portals, but that is not what you are working with.
