Hi, im trying to set up an Ad-Hoc wifi (with my Zaurus SL-C3200). Commands im using are:
iwconfig $IFACE mode ad-hoc iwconfig $IFACE essid zaurus.net iwconfig $IFACE channel 10 iwconfig $IFACE key off where $IFACE is eth0 for fr and wlan0 for Zaurus. My distribution currently in use is Qtopia 4.3.3-snapshot (the echo patch seems to be ineffective by the way :) and Angstrom for Zaurus. For Ad-Hoc wifi i need the same essid, channel and cell. The problems im facing are: 1. Very often the fr does not set up the essid -- i have to run another 'iwconfig $IFACE essid zaurus.net' after the above commands are executed -- that is very strange. 2. The cell ID's are different for 99% of the time. Is there any explanation -- interference or something? 3. Setting the cell id manually (iwconfig $IFACE ap <cell_id>) works only for zaurus (and my thinkpad t60), though i don't belive this should be done manually. Thanks for any help. Regards, martin. P.S. I have WLAN at home with one AP that was active during my attempts. I was able to set up Ad-Hoc mode between fr and my thinkpad T60 just _once_ after i tried to set it up for more than 2 hours -- because only once of those many attempts the fr (1) set the essid right away and (2) the cell id's were the same. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
