Hi,
next try, one level lower. I try to configure my airport extreme with the
following section in /etc/network/interfaces:
iface wlanhome inet static
address 192.168.0.5
netmask 255.255.255.255
pointopoint 192.168.0.8
wireless_essid home
wireless_channel 2
wireless_mode ad-hoc
After bringing up the interface with ifup I get the status no carrier.
# ip link list dev eth1
5: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:11:24:90:ca:3b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
# ifup eth1=wlanhome
# ip link list dev eth1
5: eth1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:11:24:90:ca:3b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
# iwconfig eth1
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"home" Nickname:"Broadcom 4306"
Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency=2.417 GHz Cell: Invalid
Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power=2346 dBm
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
What's wrong? I use the current version in Debian of the softmac and the
bcm43xx driver
$ dpkg -l ieee80211softmac-modules-2.6.15.1 bcm43xx-modules-2.6.15.1 |grep ^ii
ii bcm43xx-modules-2.6.15.1 20060108-5+ibook.33 Broadcom 43xx
Wireless LAN driver module for Linux 2.6.15.1
ii ieee80211softmac-modules-2.6.15.1 20060114-4+ibook.32 IEEE 802.11 SoftMAC
kernel module for Linux 2.6.15.1
What should I do?
Good night, Jörg.
