Support ad-hoc mode #154

Open MerlijnWajer opened 6 years ago

MerlijnWajer commented 6 years ago

In my experience, supporting ad hoc always requires specifying a frequency to wpa_supplicant, if this is not done, then it simply won't work. I don't think we can store a frequency in gconf right now, so we would have to add that (also in the UI?).

The frequency can be encoded (I think) already in some of the existing bits, but I am not sure. And this is also only for 2.4.

# frequency: Channel frequency in megahertz (MHz) for IBSS, e.g.,
# 2412 = IEEE 802.11b/g channel 1. This value is used to configure the initial
# channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks. It is ignored in the infrastructure mode.
# In addition, this value is only used by the station that creates the IBSS. If
# an IBSS network with the configured SSID is already present, the frequency of
# the network will be used instead of this configured value.
