Configuring wireless card (DWL-G520) in Ad-hoc mode???

fahad26 · 02-09-2005, 10:59 PM

I have got a DLINK DWL-G520 card on a FEDORA Core 3 terminal. Currently I have installed the card using ndiswrapper but the it fails to run in Ad-hoc mode which is my primary requirement. Anybody who has configured a wireless card in Adhoc mode on a linux distro is requested to help me out. Is there any other technique to configure the card in Adhoc mode except ndiswrapper?????

Plz help me out

Hey Fahad,

You might want to check out Jean's wireless page first and read up on it a bit more
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/
but if you dont have any luck there then post back the outputs from
ifconfig
iwconfig
and from the ifcfg file which should be under
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
The last part (ifcfg-eth1) might be ifcfg-wlan0 or something else. If you have multiple ones just post them all.
Cheers
Chris
