Hello!
Quoting Greg Johnson <gregfjohnson@xxxxxxxxx>:
I'm working on a project where we need to use a USB wifi adapter in ad-hoc
mode.
We've been struggling with this. Is there a 'standard' known solid way to
do this? What products and/or chipsets and Linux drivers should we be
looking at?
Two suggestions:
1) at76_usb, available in wireless-2.6/everything (Atmel USB).
2) linux-wlan-ng - separate project, may need updating for the latest
kernels. Supports Prism based USB devices.
Both Atmel and Prism devices are 802.11b only and may be hard to find,
but they would definitely work.
We're trying the zd1211 with the zd1211rw driver and the mac80211 stack,
which doesn't seem to have ad-hoc support currently, but their web site says
it should be easy to add.
That's another approach you can take. At least you have the hardware,
and it should be 802.11g capable. All you need is to fix the code.
