Hello, I run YDL5 on PS3 firmware 1.5 and have currently upgraded the kernel to support the wifi PS3 card. The fact is that it seems to be not possible to configure the card for an ad-hoc network: 

[root at PS3 ~]# uname -a 
Linux PS3.localdomain 2.6.16-20070425.ydl.3ps3 #1 SMP Thu Apr 26 12:59:41 EDT 2007 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux 
[root at PS3 ~]# lsmod|grep -i gelic 
gelic_net 24344 0 
gelic_wireless 29120 1 gelic_net 
[root at PS3 ~]# iwconfig 
lo no wireless extensions. 

bnep0 no wireless extensions. 

eth0 radio off ESSID:off/any Nickname:"" 
Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: Not-Associated 
Bit Rate:54 Mb/s 
Encryption key:<too big> 

[root at PS3 ~]# iwconfig eth0 mode ad-hoc 
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : 
SET failed on device eth0 ; Operation not supported. 
[root at PS3 ~]# iwconfig eth0 essid on 
[root at PS3 ~]# iwconfig eth0 essid pippo 
[root at PS3 ~]# iwconfig 
lo no wireless extensions. 

bnep0 no wireless extensions. 

eth0 radio off ESSID:off/any Nickname:"" 
Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: Not-Associated 
Bit Rate:54 Mb/s 
Encryption key:<too big> 


  

The essid is not taken and the ad-hoc mode is not entered... 
What should I do? 

Thanks very much in advance
