    Hi,
    I want to set up a mobile adhoc network using UDOO NEO boards.
    However, I have been trying to set wifi in the ad-hoc mode following these guides:
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ad-hoc_networking
    but it does not work.
    I got errors on both of these commands:
    udooer@udooneo:~$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
    Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.

    udooer@udooneo:~$ sudo iw wlan0 set type ibss
    command failed: Operation not supported (-95)


    I found a few threads on the problem on this forum:
    https://www.udoo.org/forum/threads/ad-hoc-connection-issues.3141/
    https://www.udoo.org/forum/threads/android-access-point-tethering.1458/
    https://www.udoo.org/forum/threads/...n-quad-with-android-device-via-wireless.3653/
    It looks like the problem is still unsolved.
    The last one takes a workaround by setting up the udoo into wireless AP instead of ad hoc which is still not applicable to me.
    These threads have been silent for a few years.
    So has anybody managed to solve this problem?

    Thank you.
