My wireless card is : Atheros ar5413 I want to configure my wireless network interface "wlan0" to adhoc mode these are the steps i have done
ifconfig wlan0 down iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc iwconfig wlan0 essid mynetwork iwconfig wlan0 channel 4 ifconfig wlan0 up ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.3 the same thing for a second machine with ip address 192.168.1.2 i have checked the routing table too and the new configuration of wireless interfaces all it's fine But when testing connection between the two machines using ping i got host unreachable i could not find why this is not working. 1) if card is not able to run in adhoc mode why the iwconfig does not report error when i have used iwconfig command ? 2) if the card is able to run in adhoc why it does not work as all parameters are good defined
