Hi Luigi,<br>
<br>
Sorry for taking a while to respond. There are two possibilities I
can think of why you might not be able to mesh with your laptop. The
first is that your wireless driver on your laptop simply doesn't
support ad-hoc mode; many do not, including my own laptop. Do you
know what chipset you are using? It would also help to see the
output of "lsmod", to see what drivers are loaded. You might want to
also consider using a USB wifi adapter that is known to do ad-hoc,
such as the TL-WN821N:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.tp-link.us/products/details/?model=TL-WN821N">http://www.tp-link.us/products/details/?model=TL-WN821N</a><br>
<br>
The second idea is that, if you are using DR1 version of
Commotion-OpenWRT, then ad-hoc encryption is turned on by default,
but the nm-mesh-applet software currently does not support
encryption. From the router, can you give the output of "iwinfo
wlan0-1 info"? You will see whether encryption is turned on or not.<br>

<br>
I was already registered on the olsrd list and I have forwarded my
email also to them.
<br>
To be honest their answer was to contact you (Commotion).
<br>
<br>
I think that my problem can be checked easily from you.
<br>
<br>
More info about my problem.
<br>
The Ubuntu is rel.13.04.
<br>
<br>
This is what I had done.
<br>
After to run olsrd I tried to connect my laptop to the
Picostation using the mesh network commotionwireless.net.
<br>
<br>
The signal is very good but no connectivity exists .
<br>
<br>
I tried with the ping command from my laptop but the IP address
5.10..... of the picostation is not recognized:unkown IP address.
<br>
<br>
Therfore one of the possible reason of this,I guess, could be the
error I have got after thr olsr installation.
<br>
I have reported it to you in the previous email.
<br>
<br>
On the other side if I use the picostation as AP and the laptop as
client everything is working.Also the WDS.
<br>
Also if I look at the two Picosatation as mesh nodes(see the
picture) everything works.
<br>
<br>
<br>
To summarize:
<br>
How can I make to work my 2 picostation and the linux laptop as
part of meshed netowork ?
<br>
<br>
I know that I'm not very precise and accurate, but if I have to do
some trials in order you can understand better what i'm doing, let
me know.

Hi Luigi,
<br>
<br>
Someone forwarded your question to the commotion-dev list, and
some
<br>
folks have responded:
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.chambana.net/pipermail/commotion-dev/2013-May/001397.html">https://lists.chambana.net/pipermail/commotion-dev/2013-May/001397.html</a>
<br>
<br>
I'd recommend signing up for that list if you haven't yet, as it
is
<br>
where we discuss the more technical aspects of Commotion.
<br>
<br>
cheers,
<br>
Dan
