Do an iwlist to get all the info about your ad hoc network. In another console window, do this with your own information. You don’t need the quotes.
Code:
iwconfig “eth1″ essid “potato” mode “ad-hoc” channel “9″ key “s:12347″ ap any
The s: in the key is for ancii, if you use a hex key you won’t need that if you don’t use encryption at all you won’t need the key section at all. After you have that set up correctly do this.
Code:
ifconfig eth1 up
dhclient eth1
That should get your computer connected. It worked for me when nothing else would.
