we compiling with ansible playbook

In Luci/network i have " Error: Network device is not present"
Do you have any idea?

It looks like the chipset / driver does not support that mode.

Modern mesh networks almost all use 802.11s at the radio layer instead of adhoc. That doens't help if you have to connect to an existing network though. Possibly you could find a USB radio that works.
