Create a new network

[Atton Jonathan]

Thank you for your help, I didn't know "IBSS".

I have followed these instructions from the documentation :

>* > # Note: IBSS can only be used with key_mgmt NONE (plaintext and static WEP)
*>* > # and key_mgmt=WPA-NONE (fixed group key TKIP/CCMP). In
addition, ap_scan has
*>* > # to be set to 2 for IBSS. WPA-None requires following network
block options:
*>* > # proto=WPA, key_mgmt=WPA-NONE, pairwise=NONE, group=TKIP (or
CCMP, but not
*>* > # both), and psk must also be set.
*

I can create, detect and connect my 2 computers with : key_mgmt NONE and
WPA-NONE.

It seems than the network can be protected by a key when we use WPA-NONE, we
can't create an ad-hoc network with a classic WPA configuration ?
