Hello David, Hi all out there interested in using Ad Hoc Mode with WEP encryption, it is a long time ago but I think, that the problem you addressed is still existing: tried to activate Ad Hoc Mode with WEP encryption with a similar script you posted on the 2nd of Aug 2011: on 2.6.34 Kernel WEP encryption is running. The key needs to be entered on a WinXP system. Same script on overo ironstorm COMs @tobi board bought end of April this year (2013) running the kernel 2.6.39 [IMAGE: sakomon (Linux 2.6.39) ; Mon Aug 15 19:04:09 PDT 2011; X-Loader 1.5.0(16.9.2011); U-Boot 2010.12(Sep 16 2011 – 13:51:55); Firmware Version Libertas Treiber: 9.70.7p0 (00:19:88:17:00:f0)) ] an open Adhoc WLAN is shown at WinXp. I also do have the same results entering "iwconfig" as David: on 2.6.34: long version incl. "Security Mode: restricted" and short version on 2.6.39 only displayed the "encryption key" entered. David also posted to the libertas dev list: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/libertas-dev/2011-September/003691.html No response there at all. Did nobody need at least a basic encryption in Ad Hoc mode in the meantime? Happy for each remark, or idea for a workaround using an encrypted wlan point-to-point connection!
