Dan,Mikael,Andrew thanks for your suggestions.<br>
<br>
At the end It was possible to have the meshing between the 2
Picostations and my Linux laptop.<br>
Everything is working now.<br>
Here the steps I did.<br>
<br>
The first action was to verify if my laptop was supporting ad-hoc
mode.<br>
a) With "lsmod" I have verified that the driver iwlwifi was
installed.<br>
b)With "lspci -v" I found the chipset of the wireless device:Intel
Centrino Advanced-N6200.<br>
It easy to find that the ad-hoc mode is supported.Go to
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi">http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi</a><br>
<br>
<small><big>c)I have investigated the second possibilty :if the
router was supporting the encryption and the nm-mesh-applet not.<br>
So I followed the suggestion of Andrew on Commotion-discuss
Digest, Vol 9, Issue 6,and I tried to connect by olsr</big><br>
</small>
<pre wrap=""><small><font face="sans-serif"><big>olsrd -d1 -i wlan0 -f /etc/nm-dispatcher-olsrd/commotionwireless.net.conf</big>
<big>
and checking the encryption setting on the router and on my laptop(using scan).
I found several inconsistencies between the output of the router<big> <small>web page</small> <small>and the laptop setting</small></big>.And more ..
I don't want to report all the list of inconsistencies.
So I had the suspect that I was using an old release of the software.
I flashed the router with the available release</big></font></small><small><font face="sans-serif"><big><small><font face="sans-serif"><big> on April 2013 </big></font></small>.
For this trial I used the new ...openwrt-ar71xx-generic-ubnt-bullet-m-squashfs-factory.bin posted on 24/5/2013.
With this release everything worked at the first attempt.
So it is up to you,now,to explain the main differences between the current release and the 1 month old one.

ps .To answer to Dan,I live in FANO <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.fano.it/">http://www.fano.it/</a> and I'm try to involve some people to work on this very interesting project supported by Commotion.

Hi Luigi,
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>
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.

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

Hi Luigi,
Someone forwarded your question to the commotion-dev list, and some
folks have responded:
<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>
I'd recommend signing up for that list if you haven't yet, as it is
where we discuss the more technical aspects of Commotion.
cheers,
Dan
