Thanks for your quick answer. My knowledge in "low-level" networking configuration is not so good. So what should I do to setup this layer-3 ip routing ? What kernel options should I activate ? I didn't find any documentation which could help me to setup this ad-hoc mode. Is a Prism card required for implementing this method or could I use another type of card instead ?
