I have been having a problem here that has been keepijng up for a lot of hours as i cannot seem to adhoc the router.
Model: Linksys wrt54g v2.2
Firmware 10.03.1
I have tried several firmwares all the way down to kamikaze and also another router (asus wl 500 gp v2 - BCM5354 chip rev 2)
Problem:
When i set the router to adhoc mode the router announces 54g but once i connect to it the Max Rate turns to 11b for the client and the router too. At that moment the router announces only 11b but works slows than 33k dial up.
At the same time i cannot even access youtube or any light browsing. My best result was with kamikaze 8.09.2 kernel 2.4 for the asus router which gave me 1mbit for bandwidth test but also turned 54g into 11b.
I also tried both b43 and wl drivers and i am out of ideas. If anyone can replicate (or not) the same with these configs it may help understand where the problem is.
I also exhausted all web searches for solutions or looking for similar problem. I am unable to understand why i cannot use a simple adhoc configuration without routing protocol from the the netbook Eeepc 1015 PED-MU17 with Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) to the router.
Here are some infos:
