Hi, I'd like to setup an adhoc wireless connection. I created the following config file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant network={ ssid="adhoc-vinc17" mode=1 key_mgmt=NONE auth_alg=SHARED wep_key0=1234567812 wep_tx_keyidx=0 priority=5 } According to the documentation, mode=1 corresponds to adhoc. (Note: I must use WEP because the other device (N810) only supports that for adhoc.) But I get the following: # wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d Initializing interface 'wlan0' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'default' ctrl_interface 'N/A' bridge 'N/A' Configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' -> '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' Reading configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' ctrl_interface='/var/run/wpa_supplicant' Priority group 5 id=0 ssid='adhoc-vinc17' Interface wlan0 set UP - waiting a second for the driver to complete initialization SIOCGIWRANGE: WE(compiled)=22 WE(source)=21 enc_capa=0xf capabilities: key_mgmt 0xf enc 0xf flags 0x0 WEXT: Operstate: linkmode=1, operstate=5 [...] State: DISCONNECTED -> SCANNING Starting AP scan (broadcast SSID) Trying to get current scan results first without requesting a new scan to speed up initial association Received 1118 bytes of scan results (3 BSSes) CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS Selecting BSS from priority group 5 Try to find WPA-enabled AP 0: 00:1d:6a:98:ce:a5 ssid='Livebox-62A1' wpa_ie_len=22 rsn_ie_len=0 caps=0x11 skip - SSID mismatch 1: 16:a9:4c:04:e0:35 ssid='adhoc-vinc17' wpa_ie_len=0 rsn_ie_len=0 caps=0x12 skip - no WPA/RSN IE 2: 00:1a:6b:ca:4e:69 ssid='Livebox-cc10' wpa_ie_len=0 rsn_ie_len=0 caps=0x11 skip - no WPA/RSN IE Try to find non-WPA AP 0: 00:1d:6a:98:ce:a5 ssid='Livebox-62A1' wpa_ie_len=22 rsn_ie_len=0 caps=0x11 skip - SSID mismatch 1: 16:a9:4c:04:e0:35 ssid='adhoc-vinc17' wpa_ie_len=0 rsn_ie_len=0 caps=0x12 skip - IBSS (adhoc) network 2: 00:1a:6b:ca:4e:69 ssid='Livebox-cc10' wpa_ie_len=0 rsn_ie_len=0 caps=0x11 skip - SSID mismatch No suitable AP found.
