Message-ID: <4D347581.9020201@mlbassoc.com> (raw)
Pardon me if this is not the best place to ask about this, but
since I'm building using Poky... Feel free to send me elsewhere
(with pointers!) if there's a more appropriate list.
I now have a WiFi USB dongle which I think the kernel is happy
with, at least I get the 'wlan0' device running. I'm not running
network manager, I'd like to just get it going "raw" via ifup, etc.
Sadly, when I try it, it doesn't work. Here's what I see:
root@cobra3530p60:~# ifup wlan0

wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"test adhoc"
Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency:2.412 GHz Cell: B6:42:15:B2:E8:91

Power Management:on
I have the default settings in /etc/network/interfaces for wlan0:
# Wireless interfaces
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_mode managed
wireless_essid any
wpa-driver wext
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
I did not change /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
I've not found much in the way of documentation on how this works,
but I think the [first] real problem is that the interface is in
the wrong mode - Ad Hoc instead of Managed.
Does anyone know what I need to do to get this going (I think I
know how to set the details of things like my AP SSID and keys),
I just don't think I'm getting that far.
Thanks for any ideas
