WLAN network setup for E-Puck and Linux Box

Setting up network for AD-HOC (point-to-point between PC and E-Puck)

We are working with a private local network using static IP addresses!

Add entries to file "/etc/network/interfaces" (on the PC):

auto wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet dhcp
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100
network 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
#pointopoint 192.168.0.1
wireless-mode ad-hoc

and ''"/etc/network/interfaces"'' (on the E-Puck)

auto wlan1
#iface wlan1 inet dhcp
iface wlan1 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
network 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
#pointopoint 192.168.0.100
wireless-mode ad-hoc


Invoke on both systems either

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

or

sudo ifdown wlan0 (or wlan1)
sudo ifup wlan0 (or wlan1)



Setting up network for ACCESS POINT (the PC needs a wireless router attached)

We are working with a private local network using static IP addresses!

Add entries to file "/etc/network/interfaces" (on the PC)

auto wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet dhcp
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100
network 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.200 (address of router!)
broadcast 192.168.0.255
wireless-essid 'name'
#wireless-key 1234567890
wireless-mode managed

and "/etc/network/interfaces" (on the E-Puck)

auto wlan1
#iface wlan1 inet dhcp
iface wlan1 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
network 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.200 (address of router!)
broadcast 192.168.0.255
wireless-essid 'name'
wireless-mode managed
#there is a line missing adjusting the power, look up on E-Puck


Invoke on both systems either

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

or

sudo ifdown wlan0 (or wlan1)
sudo ifup wlan0 (or wlan1)
