That's right. But Sameer is asking about XO-1 hardware running the "XS" OS. When that happens, we don't require any extra hw, we just use the Libertas device as a mesh gateway. If you read back on this thread, you'll see discussion of hostap drivers too, to make it run as an AP. > As I recall there was some step in the XO-specific school > "provisioning" (antitheft DRM?) that only works over the mesh. Correct. Fixed in the 8.2.2 betas I've been publishing and on the F11 images too. As for the 1.5 running as an XS -- it is squarely on my list. I am talking with the Libertas team on the availability of a thinmac/thinfirm driver+firmware combo that works with hostap. Once that is available, the XO-1.5 can run its wifi as an AP. If you don't want to wait, you can always use a USB-Wifi that is known to work with hostap drivers under linux. Or a USB-ethernet + a conventional AP. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
