Ubuntu doesn't allow me to connect to any ad-hoc networks. Doing a little research I find that it is my wireless settings so I executed the command that switches from Infrastructure mode to ad-hoc but it never lets me do it. Here's what I tried and the results from the terminal:
example@EXAMPLE-UBUNTU:~$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.
I've already made sure that it is wlan0 what corresponds to my wireless connection. I don't seem to be able to connect to any ad-hoc network whatsoever. My device is the popular "Broadcom Corporation BCM43225 802.11b/g/n" as I learnt after executing
lspci
in a bash terminal.
