Hi,
I am using Gumstix Overo Fire COM, which has Wi2Wi chip (based on Marvell's 88W8686). The Angstrom Linux distribution build uses *libertas* driver (SDIO) for WiFi. I am trying to create WEP encrypted and restricted Ad-hoc (IBSS) network.
This sequence of commands are used for testing:
ip link set wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
iwconfig wlan0 channel 4
iwconfig wlan0 essid 'TestMeNow'
iwconfig wlan0 key restricted 0123456789
ip link set wlan0 up
*NOTE:* With iw utility I don't see how to make restricted network. Any hints?
2.6.34 output:

What you get on .39 kernel is open network without WEP encryption. Were there any significant changes in the kernel between .34 and .39 that affects wireless networks or at least libertas driver?
Thanks in advance,
