[WiFi] Creating an ad-hoc network ?

Hello everyone,

With some friends we are wondering how to connect iPhone together without any near wifi access point. I think the best method is to create a ad-hoc network on the iPhone and so the others can connect to it anywhere without computers or anything else.

In linux system it's very easy to create a ad-hoc network with iwconfig. ifconfig has been ported to iPhone so I think iwconfig can be converted too, right ? To create a ad-hoc network with it we do like this:

Code:

---

iwconfig en0 mode Ad-Hoc
iwconfig en0 essid Reseau
iwconfig en0 up

---

It's easy isn't it ? The PSP use the ad-hoc networks to connect with others. I don't know if another way exists but perhaps you know one ?

Thank you in advance and scuse me for my bad english :p

Otherwise I can try to convert myself iwconfig to iphone. How can I convert it ? Do anyone has a tutorial ?

Thanx in advance.

Hello again,

I compiled my own toolchain to compile myself applications. So I can sucessfuly compile MobileTerminal for example, it's in Objective-C but "Wireless Tools" is in C++ or C !

I read I can compile C with my toolchain to run on iPhone but I don't know how to do that. Can anybody help me please ? It can help a lots of people if I can compile this tools for iPhone, so it's not only for me.

Thank you in advance.

Has anyone had any luck porting iwconfig to iphone/itouch? I'd be willing to help out with this if someone could email me the 802.11 api.
