 |
|
Hi everybody,
I've got some trouble with wlan_ng. I'm trying to setup an Ad-Hoc network. These are my script which initializes the card:
| Code: |
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
# Set channel 11
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=p2CnfOwnChannel=11
# Set foobar SSID
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=p2CnfOwnSSID=foobar
# Yes, we want unencrypted packets
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11ExcludeUnencrypted=false
# No, we don't want WEP
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11PrivacyInvoked=false
# Set Ad-Hoc mode
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11DesiredBSSType=independent
# Set the wanted SSID
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11DesiredSSID=foobar
# Join the net with ssid foobar
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=foobar authtype=opensystem
|
Here's the output of wlancfg wlan0:

However, this doesn't work. The card in the other computer works just fine if I use the same adapter with Windows. My WLAN-Adapter contains a ZIDAS-compatible Chipset. When I'm trying to ping, the following message appears in my dmesg-output:
| Code: |
p80211knetdev_hard_start_xmit: Tx attempt prior to association, frame dropped.
|
Specific questions:
- How can I find out the current status of the adapter using wlan_ng, i.e. in which cell I am?
- Does autojoin work with Ad-Hoc modes?
Yes, I already googled and searched trough the forums, but I can't spot what's wrong. |

If you find out how its done let me know!
I've been searching everywhere for a way to get Ad-Hoc set manually, I've managed got get WEP working with an access point.
I'm awaiting a response from a posting I made to the linux-wlan mailing list. |
