[Commotion-discuss] HTC desire Android 2.3.3 rooted and setting in ad-hoc mode(no internet connection)

[LuigiScop]

Purpose of this test was to verify internet connection of my android 
phone in mesh mode through the internet gateway of my network.
*Setup:* 2  Picostations flashed with default Commotion, 1android (HTC 
Desire) ,1 Linux DeskTop.
N01 Picostation as  internet gateway via ethernet cable on LAN port.


Setting.
-Android :rooted ,ad-hoc mode active,no-encryption,IP static 5.x.x.x.
-Picostations :Both with no-encryption.
-Linuk Desktop:no-encryption,commotion mesh applet used to set wifi card.

No problems with LinuxDesktop.I can connect to internet and the 
applet(mesh status view ,debug log) works well.

Android.
The mesh tether looks like described somewhere in the commotion web site.
I can visualize the link window with  three neighbors,LQ status,NLQ 
status and the gateway icon.
The info window reports the same wifi setting as in the active profile.
Ping works with all the nodes an I can connect the phone to the 
administration page of both Picostation.

BUT.
I couldn't connect Android phone  to Internet in mesh mode.
Absolutely no way.
(in infrastructure mode I can connect and I see the commotion splash 
screen).

Where I was wrong?

Thanks.

Luigi
