Hi,
I recently purchased a Dell XPS M1210 notebook.
It comes with Intel Pro Wireless 3945.
I am trying to configure it under Ad-Hoc mode.
Here's my settings:
iface eth2home inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 202.88.156.6
wireless-essid Home
wireless-mode Ad-Hoc
wireless-channel 3
wireless-rate auto
With "iwconfig eth2" I notice that the device gets associated to the
proper "Home" network, but doing a ping to 192.168.1.1 results in:
Destination Host Unreachable.
My route -n is:
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth2
which I think is correct.
I don't think settings have any issue because the same network settings work
from Windows.
Has anyone been able to use ipw3945 in Ad-Hoc mode ?
Thanks,
Ritesh
