We would run a dhcp daemon, auth server, and file server on the laptop. We did not try to reconfigure ad hic mode dynamically; i.e., we configured the card ad hoc at start-up time. I'm almost sure we had crypto turned off. Somebody at the labs tried to connect a bitsy to a Linux box in ad hoc mode. I don't know the exact details, but I gather he could not get Linux to run ad hoc without configuring it for a base station first; in other words, he had to do the Linux ad hoc config in the presence of a base station. That's not too useful. On the bitsy, in the params page, set wvmode=adhoc wvcrypt=off You can set ipaddr=n.n.n.n ipmask=255.255.255.0 auth=n.n.n.n dns=n.n.n.n dnsdomain=xxx.com if you don't want to use dhcp Sape --upas-abazdwojwdzuybupnkpenqnqer Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from plan9.cs.bell-labs.com ([135.104.9.2]) by plan9; Sat Sep 8 20:21:27 EDT 2001 Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by plan9; Sat Sep 8 20:21:26 EDT 2001 Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.4.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id EA6A4199EE; Sat, 8 Sep 2001 20:21:08 -0400 (EDT) Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: from math.psu.edu (leibniz.math.psu.edu [146.186.130.2]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 82BB1199E4 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Sat, 8 Sep 2001 20:20:19 -0400 (EDT) Received: from augusta.math.psu.edu (augusta.math.psu.edu [146.186.132.2]) by math.psu.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA09410 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Sat, 8 Sep 2001 20:20:19 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <200109090020.UAA09410@math.psu.edu> To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu From: Dan Cross Subject: [9fans] Wirelss bitsy peers?

I'm trying to set this up for a demo, but can't quite seem to get it to go. Looking at the code (and comparing against the BSD code) I don't see where the distinction really matters that much, but it's not working. Thanks for any info! - Dan C. --upas-abazdwojwdzuybupnkpenqnqer--
