Hi all,
I have updated the wpasupplicant to 0.7.3. Please try to see if it could run adhoc for nl80211-based drivers (i.e.
ath9k, ath5k)
http://www.voyage.hk/dists/experimental/wpasupplicant/wpasupplicant_0.7.3-3_i386.deb
Again, suggest to test ad-hoc link first. hostapd should not be a problem.
Regards,
Punky

This node or server is the jump off point and has the same config files as node 1 does. I should also mention that I
get the same results on node 1 as I do on node 0.
This is what I have for my interfaces file:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 10.1.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
broadcast 10.0.0.0
gateway 10.0.0.1
wireless-channel 1
wireless-essid ####################
wireless-mode ad-hoc
pre-up wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant
and wpa_supplicant.conf:
network={
ssid="OmegaMeshBackhual"
psk=06b4be19da289f475aa46a33cb793029d4ab3db7a23ee92382eb0106c72ac7bb
}
here is the output from ifup wlan0 -v

You may wish try simplifying your wpa_supplicant.conf
Try removing everything except the ssid and psk lines. Then add the
other variables in one at a time until you figure out which line is
giving you the invalid argument error.
You may also wish to try a 2.4 Ghz channel to start with. I have not
checked in a while, but there used to be issues with 5Ghz channels in
AP mode for some drivers (most of the open ones).
