![]() Using wpa_supplicant was similarly unsuccessful.įollowing the Debian wiki instructions for setting up an ad hoc network yielded better luck through both the manual and /etc/network/interfaces methods in that ifconfig and iwconfig reported that both pis were in ad hoc mode, but they were not able to ping one another. The iw method does not work, which is consistent with the fact that iw is only for nl80211 compatible devices. I have tried following the instructions from this Arch Linux wiki page using both wpa_supplicant and the manual iw method. ![]() Wifi adaptors using RTL8188CUS driver will not work in ad hoc mode.ĭoes this mean that my device will not be able to use ad hoc mode at all, or that I need to somehow set up my device to use the nl80211 driver? If you plan to use your raspberry pi in ad hoc mode, you must verify that your adapter is using the nl80211 driver. ![]() In general, devices with RTL8188CUS work great as wifi access point. Running dmesg | grep usb indicates that the device is being registered with interface driver rtl18192cu. Each pi has a USB dongle containing a Realtek RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN adapter. I would eventually like to have 11 pis on a single ad-hoc network, but I have not yet managed to establish a connection between 2. ![]() I have spent a number of hours trying to set up an ad hoc network between 2 rasberry pis (Debian 7.8 wheezy, kernel version 4.1.6-v7+).
