What I am trying to accomplish (besides changing the hostname on my server) is a mesh network with a separate backhual. The primary interface will use 802.11g/n and the backhual will use 802.11a. I definately need wep/eap encription on the backhual (256bits if possible) and this needs to be omni directional meaning and node can connect to it (which is the nature of mesh). I will also be using OLSRD and possibly hostap.<br>

</div>What ist the actual issue?<br>
It has been several years I last actively used WLAN in adhoc mode, back<br>
then for a mesh network. Back then I just used 'iwconfig' to set a<br>
channel, essid and mode ad-hoc. I used a fixed address and used<br>
/etc/network/interfaces to set it up.<br>
To my knowledge, ad-hoc networks with encryption other than WEP are not<br>
possible.<br>
