Hi Pavel,

Thank you for the reply, I did mark the interface as unmanaged and I
confirmed that, then I repeated  the steps and I established two interfaces
using the same cell (checked by iwconfig) but still when I use (ping)
command to test the connection (
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc)   the result is
"Destination Host Unreachable"...  Any suggestions?


Thank you in advance...
