Interesting message in another list. for me fedora is very slow to get dhcp address. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sridhar Dhanapalan <sridhar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 12:51 PM Subject: Rapid DHCP To: OLPC Devel <devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, OLPC Australia list <olpc-au@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Here's an article that tries to explain why Mac OS is so much faster at connecting to networks than Linux and Windows: http://cafbit.com/entry/rapid_dhcp_or_how_do Could such an implementation be considered for the OLPC OS? XOs go on and off the network all the time, as power management kicks in and the machines move in and out of AP range (or switch to a different AP). This is a disruptive process, and speeding it up would be welcome. Sridhar Sridhar Dhanapalan Engineering Manager One Laptop per Child Australia M: +61 425 239 701 E: sridhar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx A: G.P.O.
