I don't think this is such a good idea. Instead of continuing to scan for other networks (don't forget, you are trying to set up your own network) you should rather check the output of iwconfig, which will tell you the state of the device (which is much more important).

I will be able to browse the web and to send and receive emails, to sync the iPad and to use the WiFi-MIDI-thingy for Linux and the iPad. When the connection failed using nm, somebody mentioned it could be the fault of the iPad 2 and indeed it's known as not working good using Wifi. If possible, I'll try to fix the network issue today. From yesterday until now I had to fight odd Apple idiocy. I couldn't solve this Apple issue, but anyway will delay solving this and continue getting the network connection established.

I have been able to get my wired ethernet shared over wireless using network manager by choosing "create a new network" from nm-applet, though I should say that it took a few tries and possibly some updates (in sid) between the non-working and working attempts. I get the feeling that ad-hoc mode is not supported as well as managed mode on most devices, since almost all common use is managed.[*] And I mean that the ad-hoc problems could affect either side --- the computer sharing out its connection and/or the ones trying to connect. Now my connection sharing seems to work fine, though the connection is slow on some devices --- domain name resolution in particular. [*] Today I was with a friend and we tried to share his 3G over wireless, on his Windows 7 laptop, creating an ad-hoc network. His WinXP laptop saw the ad-hoc network and connected but his cell phone and his Samsung Galaxy tablet didn't see the network at all. His Samsung TV saw the network but only connected once in about ten tries. (Usually, it got an IP but no netmask/gateway or dns.

Since my status switched from jobless to employment and my new Linux installs come up with tons of issues OOTB, I contemplate to buy a Windows. Since around a month I already run a Windows in VirtualBox on my Arch Linux install. My workflow already is broken, since GNOME2 is dropped, by hook or by crook I need to change my workflow. I never would leave Linux, but indeed I don't have the time to fix all issues caused by a new trend, resp. policy of Linux, e.g. dropping a working graphics driver and using an experimental driver as replacement. Current crackerjack on my machine is no audio out for my HDSPe AIO with the latest audio distro I installed some days ago. Pulseaudio already is removed, but it anyway doesn't work. Perhaps I add a Windows to my machine. And really, while the policy of Apple is a crime, the abilities of the iPad are terrific. Since I'm a musician I suspect that I have to go to Hades.

I edited it by using nm-connection-editor, after that the nm-applet appeared automatically and after enabling wireless, the applet showed networks from my neighborhood. After a while the Linux network was shown by the iPad, then I lost the connection. I disabled and enabled wireless, but nothing happened. I'll reboot. I still wonder, if I need to set addresses and what username and password to use. Settings now are: Connection name: Wireless connection 1 [x] Connect automatically [x] Available to all users Tab "Wireless" SSID: oz Mode: Ad-hoc Band: Automatic (Channel: default) BSSID: Device MAC address: Cloned MAC adresse: MTU: automatic Tab "IPv4 Settings" Method: Shared to other computers (Adress: Netmask: Gateway: DNS servers: Search domains: DHCP client ID:) [x] Require IPv4 addressing for this connection to complete (Nothing edited for "Routes...") Nothing edited for tab "IPv6 Settings" Tab "Wireless security" Security: WE 128-bit Passphrase Key: 1234567890 I only enabled wireless, the DSL connection isn't set up by nm, it was set up by pppoeconf and starts automatically at startup. After rebooting the nm-applet appeared automatically and a notification is displayed: "Network Disconnected - you are offline" Anyway I can surf the Internet using Firefox, but indeed, Evolution can't connect. I enabled networking. Evolution now is connected. Wireless isn't enabled, but the neighborhood's networks are shown by the applet. The iPad shows the Linux network oz. Again and again authentication is required by Linux. I'm always using "1234567890" and then always push connect. After a while, when I tried to set up the iPad, the network "oz" can't be found anymore, the USB adapter's LED indeed change it's notification flashing. Enabling wireless doesn't change anything. I still wonder what settings I have to do for the iPad, username, password, of my provider? "oz" and this "1234567890" key? I'll change it, when it's working ;). I'll backup the install now and continue later. Regards, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

For my Ubuntu I made the connection by pppoeconf and NetworkManager is installed. Running # nm-applet doesn't show it in the Xfce panel's notification area, but running # nm-connection-editor does start a GUI. Thank you, I'll try NetworkManager. I wasn't sure if it doesn't need additional settings too. I'll try with Ubuntu first and if needed I'll install Debian. First I need to understand what I have to set. Doing this doesn't work: Connection name: Wireless connection 1 [x] Connect automatically Tab "Wireless" SSID: oz Mode: Ad-hoc Band: Automatic (Channel: default) BSSID: Device MAC address: Cloned MAC adresse: MTU: automatic Tab "IPv4 Settings" Method: Manual Adress: 192.255.0.1 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 1.1.1.1 DNS servers: Search domains: (DHCP client ID:) [x] Require IPv4 addressing for this connection to complete Nothing edited for "Routes..."

And assumed everything should be set up correctly, there still is no password? I can't find any howto.

How are you managing your internet connection on the Debian machine? If it's Network Manager you can use it directly. If you are using ifupdown you'll need to tinker with hostapd and IP forwarding and (optional) some dhcp server (I prefer dnsmasq, because it also does DNS caching).

How to share the Internet with Linux and an iPad by Wi-Fi?
Hi :) I need to share the Internet for the PC with an iPad. Linux is connected by PPPoE using eth0 to the Internet and the iPad should get access to the Internet by a Sempre WU300-1K USB adapter connected to the Linux PC. $ hwinfo --usb [snip] Device: usb 0x8172 "RTL8191S WLAN Adapter" Revision: "2.00" Serial ID: "00e04c01" Driver: "r8712u" Driver Modules: "r8712u" Device File: wlan0 [snip] Using Arch Linux I didn't get the Sempre to run. Using Ubuntu Studio Oneiric I can connect the iPad to Linux by WLAN, but there's neither a password required nor access to the Internet. Is there a way to get Internet access under Debian + a password protection? If I run this on Ubuntu ... $ cat adhoc #! /bin/sh # sh ./adhoc # https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc device=wlan0 sudo service network-manager stop sudo ip link set $device down sudo iwconfig $device mode ad-hoc sudo iwconfig $device channel 4 sudo iwconfig $device essid 'oz' sudo iwconfig $device key 1324354657 # sudo dhclient $device sudo ip addr add 169.254.34.2/16 dev $device exit 0 ... the iPad recognized a network "oz". I can connect by selecting the name "oz", WEP and for the password I just enter a space, but as mentioned before, I don't get access to the Internet. A google for "linux masquerade router" found several confusing and not working howtos. I would install a minimal Debian, if there should be a usable howto. Perhaps a small Debian without GUI, since for the moment I would be glad, just to get access to the Internet for the iPad. Any hints are welcome, Ralf OT: I didn't buy, but won an iPad 2. Beside all that flashy crap it can do amazing things, of cause not usable with Linux, but for Mac and Windows there are e.g. amazing apps that can be used with Mac and Windows DAWs. Perhaps a jailbreak will enable some possibilities, when using it with a Linux PC too. I was thinking of selling it and buying an Android tablet, but a request on Linux audio mailing lists made clear that Android hasn't the abilities for pro-audio and the Android developers aren't interested in fixing bugs related to this issue. Another wasted chance for Linux to become popular and to make more hardware vendors taking care of Linux. Anyway, I don't own a Mac PC or a Windows PC and I hope I get access to the Internet using Linux. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
