Ok, I got to buy the netgear one... works like a charm but... 😉
Now I try to set up an ad-hock network between the BBBela and my computer.
According to this debian resource I therefore put the following into /etc/network/interfaces
.
Now we're getting to the really strange thing:
If I boot with the board plugged into my computer via USB, everything works fine. If I boot from USB battery, the ad-hoc network does not show up.
does anyone have an idea about this?
auto wlan2
#allow-hotplug wlan2 # doesn't work either...
iface wlan2 inet static
#wait for 15 seconds
pre-up sleep 15
