Good Morning
I currently have two cards Olimex-A20 lime and SOM.I would like connect in ad-hoc. they each have wifi realtek 8188CU card and I configure the two card as am:
board A:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.20.2
netmask 255.255.0.0
wireless-channel 1
wireless-essid monadhoc
wireless-mode ad-hoc
board B
auto wlan5
iface wlan5 inet static
address 192.168.20.1
netmask 255.255.0.0
wireless-channel 1
wireless-essid monadhoc
wireless-mode ad-hoc
Sometimes the connection works fine I can ping them but in some cases ping does not work and I am forced to restart my board and hoping to make it work
So when I make a iwlist scan my card can see the networks of the other.
I must miss a step, but I can not find where?
ifdown ifup make no difference

https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/AdHoc i think you did all the steps, maybe try an other channel
Hi Gerrit
I follow this wiki link to create my ad-hoc network.
I try to use different channel but it is not conclusive.
So when i scan my network
iwlist scan
Cell 01 - Address: 02:11:87:B1:E5:11
ESSID:"SQLnet"
Protocol:IEEE 802.11bg
Mode:Ad-Hoc
Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1)
Encryption key:off
Bit Rates:54 Mb/s
Quality=100/100 Signal level=-66 dBm
i can see Address 02:11:87:B1:E5:11
and if i make this i can connect to my network:
ifdown wlan9
iwconfig wlan9 ap 02:11:87:B1:E5:11
ifup wlan9
So why this step is not done automatically ?
