Wireless --> Wireless --> Internet

[ninja]

My goal is to set up a wireless gate to connect to the Internet. I have followed http://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: Select all

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: Select all
