My goal is to set up a wireless gate to connect to the Internet. I have followed https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=53812 and my cards are detected and the modules load fine. The problem is that i can't seem to get connectivity between the two wireless cards.

I hope the info below is enough for some to help me

Here is a overview of my current setup

Gateway : wifi-ninja

eth0: Ethernet card IP-address dhcp
eth1: wireless card IP-address 192.168.0.1

Desktop : ninja

eth0: wireless card IP-address 192.168.0.2
eth1: Ethernet card no IP-address

I set the following commands to adjust my settings
Code:


iwconfig eth0 essid "ninja-net" nick “ninja” mode Ad-Hoc channel 7 freq 2.442G

iwconfig eth1 essid "ninja-net" nick “gateway” mode Ad-Hoc channel 7 freq 2.442G

her is a print out of the results on my destop and gateway machines
Code:

root@ninja linux # iwconfig eth0
          eth0      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"ninja-net"  Nickname:"ninja"
          Mode:Ad-Hoc  Frequency:2.442GHz  Cell: 00:00:00:00:00:00
