Creating Wireless ad-hoc network in Debian/Ubuntu linux

        

Hello frndz....!!!

Today i am going to show you how to create a wireless ad-hoc network in your Debian machine

Step 1: changing wireless interface configuration

login as root :

sudo su root

and type the following commands:

iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-hoc
iwconfig wlan0 essid your_net_name
 

The network created won't be encrypted,to add the encryption key check manual page for iwconfig:
       man iwconfig

Step 2: Set the IP addresses

ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
 
IP address can be anything,but make sure you have the right subnet mask.
 
 
That's it...enjoy!!
