With a little investigation, I confirmed that rtl8187 (which is based on mac80211 stack) has no support to adhoc (IBSS)[1] and r8187(which is based on ieee80211 stack) has (according to you)
the problem is that rtl8187 is now the focus of implementation because ieee80211 drivers are considered legacy, the ieee80211 was removed from the mainline and so r8187 is NOT SHIPPED with ubuntu kernel. But the STAGING module rtl8192su continues to use ieee80211 stack while is not converted [./Sources/linux-wireless- testing/drivers/staging/rtl8192su/ieee80211] 2 choices: 1) we could ship the r8187 driver too (packing it with ieee80211 stack) and using jockey to select the correct driver (but jocker is for proprietary drivers) 2) Wait for rtl8187 implementation [1] http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers -- rtl8187 module has no ad-hoc support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/97322 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
