Hi,
I am getting closer to setting up wireless network, want to connect to my laptop and a wifi media device wondering if i still need a wireless router to do this?
wireless in /etc/conf.d
#wlan_eth0="eth0 mode managed essid default"
WLAN_INTERFACES=(wlan0)
wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid mrgreen
rc.conf
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
wlan0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 wlan0)
Of course I would like to add some encryption to network to be more secure
iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 802.11b/g ESSID:"mrgreen"
Mode:Managed Channel=2 Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:11 Mb/s Sensitivity=4/6
Retry:on Fragment thr:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
guess the trick is to be able to find other devices this is where I have no idea what to do [iwlist!]
TIA

1) you can setup any computer wifi card to work as a wifi-router (search wiki)
2) you can use ad-hoc mode

iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 No scan results
I can scan using laptop but its not showing my desktop ... above is from desktop so its not finding laptop
wiki guide guide shows how to set up wifi ... but I am thinking I need to use ad-hoc
sorry for dumb questions just never tried to set up wireless before
