I also sometimes connect to an adhoc network with wicd (between my Debian laptop and my Nokia N900), and I also get random failures. Otherwise I use a small script running ifconfig and iwconfig directly: /etc/init.d/wicd stop ifconfig wlan0 down iwconfig wlan0 essid xxx mode Ad-Hoc channel 1 key yyy ifconfig wlan0 up 192.168.17.3 iwconfig wlan0 essid xxx mode Ad-Hoc channel 1 key yyy With that, I always get the IP address, but the network connection itself doesn't always work (test with ping). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
