[Madwifi-users] Atheros 5212 configured in ad-hoc mode, but not visible

[Samlidis N. <Sam...@gm...>]

 Hi Madwifi-Users

I want to run the Atheros 5212 card in my Laptop (hp nc8000) in ad-hoc mode.
Below you can see what I do. Although configuration seems to be successful there is no new device in the list when I try to scan for with an PPC HTC Touch or an older one ( HTC Kaiser...). What do I wrong?

 Thank you for your help
