[orbit-user] problem with adhoc mode of ath0 interface

[puneet pandey]

Hi,

I am trying to use the the ath0 interface of the nodes in the Ad-Hoc mode.
When i log into the nodes and use iwconfig command, it displays the mode as
Managed.

I tried to change the mode using
iwconfig ath0 mode Ad-hoc
       but the result was
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument.

Then i tried to destroy and recreate the interface as follows:

ifconfig ath0 down
wlanconfig ath0 destroy
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode adhoc
ifconfig ath0 up

the result of these commands was that the system hung..
I tried it many times but all the times the system hung.

How do i use the interface in Ad-hoc mode?

Thanks,
Puneet
