hi,
i'm currently trying to establish a simple unencrypted ad-hoc link
between workstation (2.6.28.5/ath5k.ko) and dell laptop (2.6.27.x/ipw2200.ko).
i've configured ip adresses for workstation/laptop as 192.168.111.{1,2}/24.
here's detailed workstation config:
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:14:78:71:E6:F7
inet addr:192.168.111.1 Bcast:192.168.111.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

at this point i can only arping workstation -> laptop.
# arping -f -I wlan0 192.168.111.2
ARPING 192.168.111.2 from 192.168.111.1 wlan0
Unicast reply from 192.168.111.2 [00:13:CE:D8:AC:E9] 2.223ms
Sent 1 probes (1 broadcast(s))
the laptop -> workstation arping doesn't work
and on on dmesg i see only few messages:
wlan0: Selected IBSS BSSID ..... based on configured SSID
(...)
ath5k phy0: beacon queue 7 didn't stop?
any ideas what's wrong?
