I'm not able to setup Ad-hoc network in ubuntu. I came to know that setting up a ad-hoc network is different from setting up a wireless hotspot.
- After I followed the instructions here, my essid changes everytime I do it. I'm not able to setup a specific essid name for my wifi card.
- I also tried this but in vain.
I tried to make sure that essids are same on two individual PCs (running Ubuntu Linux 10.04 and 12.04) described here.
I still cannot ping one system from the other.
Did anyone ever try connecting two systems over Wi-Fi in ad-hoc mode (in Ubuntu 12.04 or 10.04)?
I found this bug report - bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/543343 on Launchpad. I'm not sure if its fixed yet.
I still face the same errors on Ubuntu 12.04 too.
