Hi everyone,
Reading this thread, I would like to share with people some doubts about
it.
@Marco, I imagine you want to run your WLE600VX device using the
802.11ac protocol, isn't it?
@Janusz, with running wpa_supplicant on both computers, will the ad-hoc
connection be established? I am starting with these tools and now, I am
getting used to know how they work. I was creating the ad-hoc connection
with the iw tool.
Thanks,
