Hi
Has anyone successfully made ad-hoc wifi mode work on the eee ?
I have tried that:
wlanconfig ath0 destroy
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode adhoc
which created a new wifi interface ath1 and not ath0
then used
iwconfig ath1 mode Ad-Hoc essid gnacbla
ifconfig ath1 -promisc 10.0.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255
as advised in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-27 … eless.html
The network seems online because iwconfig gives
ath1 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"gnacbla" Nickname:""
Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency:2.412 GHz Cell: 02:E0:9B:6E:F6:F6
Bit Rate=0 kb/s Tx-Power:17 dBm Sensitivity=1/1
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=50/70 Signal level=-46 dBm Noise level=-96 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
but a ping on 10.0.1.1 (my gateway) failed same from the gateway
It's the first time I try something like that I can be obviously wrong somewhere but I would need a hint.
thanx

Yes, I did.
VAP=ath1 wlanconfig ath0 destroy wlanconfig $VAP create nounit wlandev wifi0 wlanmode adhoc iwconfig $VAP mode Ad-Hoc essid "$ESSID" iwconfig $VAP enc open $KEY ifconfig $VAP -promisc $IP netmask $NETMASK
Use your correct values for ESSID, KEY, IP, NETMASK.

Tried your method with no luck. Did you follow that with an 'ifconfig $VAP up' or something?'
I've typed all the commands successfully, but the network isn't up and running. I can't connect to it, and it's not displaying a wifi icon in the system tray. Network Monitor claims there's no network.
Iwconfig and ifconfig both seem correct though.

You are right: it's necessary to shut down NetworkManager, so you'll not have any icon on the system tray.
I'll try to be more precise:
First of all "sudo"
sudo -i
then shut down NetworkManager as I said
/etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager stop /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher stop
then destroy any athX interface
wlanconfig ath0 destroy
create new interface in Ad-Hoc mode
wlanconfig ath1 create nounit wlandev wifi0 wlanmode adhoc
finally set up Ad-Hoc parameters
iwconfig ath1 mode Ad-Hoc essid "my_private_network" iwconfig ath1 enc open "1122334455" ifconfig ath1 -promisc 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
Let me know if you can connect, please!
