Hello,
Changing the state of the airport card via "iwconfig eth1 mode Ad-Hoc"
do adhoc mode works fine, we can connect afterwards.
But then the weird things begin:
1. If we trasnfer much data (e.g. scp some stuff around) after some
time
the interface has a timeout and the prozess ksoftirqd_CPU0 produces
around 90% CPU usage. If I try with ifconfig eth1 down it works. But
then there is no possibility of bringing it back to life. A ifconfig
eth1 up or ifup eth1 just produces a "SIOCSIFLAGS: Connection timed
out". The eth1 is back on afterwards but not in Ad-Hoc mode, trying to
switch it to adhoc mode doesn't work. It _does_ "work", but the
output of "iwconfig" looks afterwards like this:
It can only be solved by rebooting which is hardly possible in class
