yes, same channel, essid and both in Ad-Hoc mode. As I said, both machines
find each other w/ iwlist scan but cannot ping each other. Firewall
disabled. I actually managed to ping PC1 from PC2 just the once but then
it just stopped.
FWIW, both cards seem to work because I have a Zaurus running OpenZaurus
w/ Wellenreiter and I can sniff out both wifi cards (not to mention quite
a few other APs).
The 2 PCs are in adjacent rooms about 7 - 8 meters apart.
thanks,
Sharukh.
