Okay did that. I had to get the madwifi-tools to set the mode to adhoc
on ath0.
but iwlist scan shows: No scan results.
now what ?
If it's of any use, iwlist wifi0 channel always shows channel 3, whereas
iwlist ath0 channel shows a different channel everytime.
Both devices have to be set to use the same channel, essid and mode.
That's the problem, the channel on ath0 seems to be changing, seemingly of
its own accord. Everytime I check w/ iwlist ath0 freq it shows a different
channel/frequency. On wlan0 it stays at channel 3. I have set essid to
any.
This could be a driver issue for your ath0 card. Also try other options
in iwlist, like frequency. The man page says
"freq[uency]/channel
Give the list of available frequencies in the device and
the number of
defined channels. Please note that usually the driver
returns the total
number of channels and only the frequencies available
in the present
locale, so there is no one-to-one mapping between
frequencies displayed
and channel numbers."
Also, in /etc/networking/interfaces, the devices can be set to 3
different modes. Auto, static and manual. Manual means that the device
is up but you set parameters later through commands, however it will
last for that session only. After a reboot, it has to be re-done. For
experimenting, that is a better mode.
