hi ,I'm new here.
my openwrt had wpad-mini - 20111103-2
so I had comand:
root@OpenWrt:~# uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].encryption=psk2
root@OpenWrt:~# uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].key="your_password"
root@OpenWrt:~# uci commit wireless
but it reported error as follow:

root@OpenWrt:/# uci commit wirelesss
uci: Entry not found
root@OpenWrt:/# wifi
batman_adv: bat0: Interface deactivated: ath0

hi,when i change zhe mode option adhoc to ap ,Encryption is work ok!
how can i set Encryption to mode adhoc?

I do it !
It works OK now!

Hello!
I'm trying to set up the encryption in a mesh adhoc with batman-adv, using linksys wrt54gs, and i can't succeed. Simply doesn't work. In mode AP works fine, but in adhoc, doesn't. I tryed wep, wpa, wpa2 (psk, psk2)... The configuration file i used is in /etc/config/wireles... i'm using trunk openwrt...

I already read that in adhoc mode, encryption is not possible yet, due the trunk openwrt is not prepared with the drivers for linksys broadcom... i already read that wpa is not possible in adhoc, only wep works... the truth is that i can't get nothing to works...

Also tryed to install nas and wpad-mini... tryed to edit the wpa_supplicant file... but no success...

So if you don't mind, could you please explain how you succeed to put the encryption in your adhoc mode?

Thank you very much!
