Are you using WEP? Are you creating an ad-hoc network or using an<br>existing infrastructure network? How are you configuring the wireless<br>settings for the boards?<br></blockquote><div><br>No WEP. I am trying to make an ad hoc network if possible. An existing network is available for a secondary test scenario as well.
<br><br>My initial thought was that it would auto configure, so I made minimal configuration changes. Aside from installing the driver and ensuring they are on, I have not set anything specific. Is it is simply a matter of setting them both on the same ssid and assigning valid IP addresses (the former was a step I forgot to try).
