Hi all,
I have updated the wpasupplicant to 0.7.3. Please try to see if it could run adhoc for nl80211-based drivers (i.e.
ath9k, ath5k)
http://www.voyage.hk/dists/experimental/wpasupplicant/wpasupplicant_0.7.3-3_i386.deb
Again, suggest to test ad-hoc link first. hostapd should not be a problem.
Regards,
Punky
