Hello,
I have a BBB and a I need that the other hardwares to connect with my BBB with WiFi, what I have tried:
iw wlan0 set type ibss
iw wlan0 ibss join myssid 2432
this “works” when I run the command iw dev wlan0 link this is my result:
Joined IBSS d6:56:47:0a:97:9b (on wlan0)
SSID: myssid
freq: 2432
but my other pc and hardware cannot connect. I tried with iwconfig same result. Tried with hostapd but hostapd just trow me errors.
Anyone knows how to deal with this problem?
I am new at linux and BBB bear this in mind.
