Here's what I did: (had dnsmasq running dhcp for 192.168.10.x, network manager disabled) $ su # modprobe -r ath5k # modprobe ath5k # iw dev wlan0 set type ibss # ifconfig wlan0 192.168.10.1 up # iw dev wlan0 ibss join myibss 2462 Then on the other machine (Vista) I just located 'myibss' (so beacons are working) and selected it, then successfully pinged 192.168.10.1. It may depend on which channel you are trying to use; are you on a channel that allows beaconing in your regulatory domain? -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
