Hi Patrick,

Why not just a second Gmail account for various lists?

Kind regards,

Re: Ad-Hoc Configuration

Anubhav, thank you for the tip. Unfortunately, the two WiFi adapters on my
laptop do not support AP mode either. However, I did find the script
interesting. I followed the web page you provided, and went back to the
original post which inspired the script you suggested, which is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2009381
From that page, I learned how to enable NAT forwarding. So now my cellphone
can access internet through my laptop, which the laptop is set in Ad-Hoc
mode.

Ralf, you are not hijacking anything. Ralex bud.

Gian, than you for the help. However, since my WiFi adapters do not support
AP mode, I guess hostapd is not for my laptop in this case.

Cheers,

Xianwen

 Thank you,

 I'm not the OP and don't want to capture the thread, but I guess it's
 ok, since it's the same issue.

 After startup the LED of my USB Wi-Fi should flash, it did when I used
 *buntu, but doesn't for my Debian install.

Ad-Hoc Configuration

[Xiánwén Chén]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to configure an Ad-Hoc network on my laptop for my cellphone.

The laptop connects to the university WiFi network through wlan1. The
university WiFi network authorizes access through MAC address. Therefore,
my cellphone cannot connect to the university WiFi network.

I've created an Ad-Hoc network with laptop's wlan0, which is configured as:

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.10.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
wireless-channel 1
wireless-essid chen
wireless-mode ad-hoc
wireless-key somepasswd

I've also set up an isc-dhcp-server, which listens only to wlan0. The
subnet is configured as:

subnet 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
   authoritative;
   range 192.168.10.2 192.168.10.254;
   default-lease-time 3600;
   max-lease-time 3600;
   option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
   option broadcast-address 192.168.10.255;
   option routers 192.168.10.1;
   option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8;
   option domain-name aann.tk;
}

So mycell can now connect to the ad-hoc network. I can ping the cellphone
from the laptop. However, the cellphone cannot access internet. I tried to
bridge wlan0 and wlan1, but failed. Apparently wireless interfaces cannot
be bridged.

My question is this. How can I configure the network on my laptop so my
cellphone can access internet?

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards,

Xianwen
