Hi all,
I got some problem with the ad-hoc setup for my fit-pc2 with ubuntu 9.10
I used to have ubuntu 10.04 installed on my fit-pc2, and wireless did not work, so I switch it down to 9.04 and followed the instruction on the website. The infrastructure wireless seems working very good on my machine now. (connecting to internet)
But when I am trying to create a ad-hoc wireless network with multiple fit-pc2s, it doesn't work now:
1.) when I use another laptop to create a ad-hoc, and I use fit-pc2 to connect to it, the system keeps asking me for "Authentication required by wireless network".
2.) when I try to create a ad-hoc host on my fit-pc2, it ask me for the same thing!?
Basically, the fitpc2 can connect through my router to internet, but it can not create or connect to ad-hoc.
Is there some hardware issue or driver one? I saw some posts discussing about similar issues, but I am a bit confused there.

Ad-hoc setup with Ubuntu 9.10
Re: Ad-hoc setup with Ubuntu 9.10
For lucid use the ppa at [1]. AdHoc mode is a driver issue. I don't know if this driver supports it.

Re: Ad-hoc setup with Ubuntu 9.10
Thanks for the reply fly.
I follow the instruction in [1]
But when I use
sudo lshw -C network
to check my wireless card configuration, below is what i got:
*-network
description: Wireless interface
product: RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
vendor: RaLink
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0
logical name: wlan0
version: 00
serial: 00:0d:f0:6e:2d:77
width: 32 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless
configuration: broadcast=yes driver=rt2860 ip=192.168.1.100 latency=0 multicast=yes wireless=Ralink STA
resources: irq:17 memory:d0200000-d020ffff
I do not understand why the driver still says rt2860
Is this the problem?
Sincerely,
Chris

Re: Ad-hoc setup with Ubuntu 9.10
Using the driver mentioned by [1] in lucid should return:

Looks to me like you are not using the ppa-version of the driver. Did you just add the ppa or really install the driver? After adding the ppa to your software sources you should run:
[2] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/g ... a81ce000eb
I don't know how 9.10 output should look. However, rt3090 driver shares quite some code with rt2860. The default linux driver for rt3090 is indeed the rt2860, see kernel log at [2]. Try blacklisting rt2860 and then modprobe rt3090sta.configuration: broadcast=yes driver=RALINK WLAN driverversion=2.3.1.7 ip=192.168.23.32 latency=0 multicast=yes wireless=Ralink STA

Thanks a lot, fly
I did everything including modprobe rt3090sta, But I forgot to blacklist rt2860sta
Everything works well now.
it is really appreciated.
