Hi,
My wireless card is "Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter".
With ndiswrapper, it works fine in BSS mode, but I can't make it work in
adhoc mode. Here is my configuration:
$ ifconfig ndis0 inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 \
ssid CACTUS mode 11b mediaopt adhoc up
ifconfig shows that
ndis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::204:23ff:fe60:9df1%ndis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
ether 00:04:23:60:9d:f1
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect <adhoc>)
status: no carrier
ssid ""
channel 1 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
wepmode OFF weptxkey 1
With wicontrol ndis0, I can see that
Port type (1=BSS, 3=ad-hoc): [ 0 ]
I don't know how to change the port type to 3. There seems no documentation
on that.
Also I noticed that, after I configured it to adhoc mode, the mouse doesn't
move smoothly, which doesn't happen in BSS mode. Is there anything that I
can do to make it work?
Regards,
