= Using Ad-Hoc Mode =

== New Code == 

Follow the instructions on UserDocs/AdHocInterface before proceeding with the instructions below.

== Old Code ==

(optional) This iwpriv command locks the NIC in the 802.11g-only mode
{{{
iwpriv ath0 mode 3
}}}

Set the type of network to ad-hoc
{{{
iwconfig ath0 mode ad-hoc
}}}

== Common Instructions ==

After you have your ad-hoc interface, set it up as normal:

Set the ESSID for the cell you want to connect to.
{{{
iwconfig ath0 essid yournetworkidhere
}}}

(optional) Set the network WEP key... Consult the iwconfig manpages to see other ways of setting a key. Here it is done using a string.
{{{
iwconfig ath0 key s:yourkeyhere
}}}

Set up your network using a static ip address.
{{{
ifconfig ath0 192.168.2.1
}}}
