Hi,
Can we use WPA encryption with a WiFi network in Ad-Hoc mode?
I can use the RCM4400W in Infrastructure mode with WEP or WPA security. But I cannot get WPA to work in Ad-Hoc mode. I noticed that there are no comments in tcp_config.lib about this combination.
–Is WPA + Ad Hoc a valid combination for WiFi in general?
–Is WPA + Ad Hoc a supported on the RCM4400W?

Hi Carl,
Did you get anywhere on this subject? I have used the sample that was shipped with the system, and it worked without encryption. Like you, I failed to make it work with wpa enabled.

infrastructure networks - no enc, WEP, or WPA may be used
Ad-Hoc networks - no enc or WEP may be used
Ad-Hoc networks don’t typically use WPA because various networking devices either don’t support WPA in Ad-Hoc, or support a flavor of it that is different from others. :mad:
So at least on the RCM4400W module, Rabbit didn’t implement WPA for Ad-Hoc.
