Wireless Protocol. Ad Hoc is typically used for a link between two computers and I think it can be used to make an "
Ad-Hoc" network of 2+ computers as well.

- mkdir /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
- chmod 777 /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
- cp /home/leftfieldnz/Document/software/wifi/isl3890 /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
-# Remove and then slot the pcmcia card back into the laptop
.
-# Run the following
:
- modprobe prism54
- iwconfig
-# iwconfig should now list the card as
: Network controller: Intersil Corporation Intersil ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism Duette] (rev 01)
-# iwconfig should see the card as eth1

-
-airsnort http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/cooker/10.1/i586/media/contrib/airsnort-.2.4a-1mdk.i586.html
-
-The laptop's an old Gateway PIII 550, running Mandrake 10.0 official.
-Kernel 2.6.3-7mdk.
-
-The card's a Netgear WG511.
-
-One caveat; this card is running the prism chipset (or at least, it's
-using the prism54 driver) Some people have reported that Netgear have
-changed chipsets on the WG511 a couple of times, so you can't guarantee
-that all WG511 cards will work.
-
-One other problem; the prism54 driver doesn't support WPA yet. WEP
-works fine tho', and WPA is coming Real Soon Now(tm) :-)
-
-BTW, the firmware is for the Intersil ISL3890. Googleing (sp?) for that
-should get a download site, or email me and I can email the one I
-downloaded. It's only about 90k.
-
-Install the LATEST version of libpcap. Please make sure that you have removed any old version of pcap that you may have installed.
-
-Make sure you have gtk+-2.2 installed as AirSnort is a gui application. You will also need gtk+-devel in order for autogen.sh to work.
-
-Perform the following steps
- tar -xzf airsnort-.2.3a.tar.gzcd airsnort-.2.3a./autogen.shmake
-Poof you're done. The airsnort executable is in the airsnort-.2.3a/src subdirectory, do with it what you will. There are some man pages in airsnort-.2.3a/man

-!!!Setting up the interfaces:
-
-When you run ifconfig, you might not see your wireless device.
Use the command 'iwconfig' to show the wireless devices that are connected and set to use
. First things first
. You need to set an IP for this device
. If you do not set one before setting the wireless options, you will not get a link
.
-
- ifconfig ''<device>'' ''<IP address>''
-
-Now to set it to link up with the wireless access point
. once again we'll use iwconfig to set the ESSID, which needs to match the SSID of your AP or Router to link to
.
-
- iwconfig eth1 essid ''MYWIRELESS''
-
-Generally this should link you to the wireless AP
. If it doesn't, you might try to set the wireless device a bit more
. Some devices will not take some of these options
.

-I'm having problems getting my netgear wg511 to work
. I compiled the
-drivers from ISL3890 fine and changed /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia to contain
-PCIC=i82365 & PCMCIA=yes
. However, when I modprobe islpci_cb I get
-the errors
-
-Try changing your PCIC=i82365 line to "PCIC=yenta_socket"

+NOTE: It's important that you setup the interface in the following steps
+1) Make sure the interface (eth1) is down
+2) Execute the iwconfig commands
+3) Execute the ifconfig command (will Add
IP and bring interface up)
+4) Perform tests
+
+This order is crucial because the new network settings are not written
+to the wireless card until you bring the interface up (via the ifconfig
+command).
+
+Now the Internet!
