You need to setup one of the boards (the one with the ethernet connection) or a PC as an access point, see: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hostapd The wifi adapter on the boards must support AP mode for this to work, if it doesn't then you need to setup a PC as an AP or just get a wireless router. On the other one just follow the Gentoo installation manual to setup the wireless link. > Would be nice, if both could be configured/setup symmetrically, so > no client-server relationship or something hierachical like that is > needed. I think 802.11n supports something like that but I'm not sure how it works or if there's support for it on linux. -- Fernando Rodriguez PGP Key: http://keys.gnupg.net/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xF6CE157FF9525C1C
