Dear list, just a question: Is it possible, to connect two computers with linux via wlan without any router?
I know, it is working with ethernet cable and crossover-cable. But is this possible with wifi, too? My idea was working with fixed IP`s and give computer A the IP-address from computer B as gateway, and the other way round. Of course I my thinking was wrong (otherwise it would have been worked). I saw several descriptions for Windows, but I am looking for a general solution, as I would like to connect also other devices (like an Android cellphone). You may ask, why I want to do this. Explanantion: I want to transfer video from a drone to the computer with wlan, but the router causes a slight delay between source and target (which is normal). So I aim to eliminate the brake. The protocol and software I am using on the computer is RTMP with NGINX and VLC, which is well working - except the little delay. Short for long: Is there an EASY way, to connect both hosts? Is it possible at all with linux? Thanks for any hints! Best Hans
