Any ideas on how to set the ibss mode?

[tallorate]

I've successfully installed the driver and it's okay running in AP and station mode. But when I trying to set the ibss mode, I can make two devices into the same cell.

root@cly-virtual-machine:/home/cly# iw dev wlan0 link
Joined IBSS 02:11:87:86:a3:0f (on wlan0)
SSID: myadhoc

root@cly-virtual-machine:/home/cly# iwconfig wlan0

but there are no packet exchanges at all and I even couldn't ping through each other.

I intended to mark ibss as untested but forgot to do so. All of the rest of the supported modes are tested.

To answer your question: I have no idea. I have never used that mode. If I had time, I would dig in and see what I could find out.

If you do figure it out, if it is working, let us know and I will post how to do it for those in the future.

Thanks to your reply.
Another question is that do you have any idea about the wds and mesh which are mentioned in the core code, I've also tried to set the interface into these modes but unfortunately they failed.
