   I set up Nokia 500 as hotspot using Joikuspot application.
   I couldnt get connected.

   When I connect from debian, connection is shown as 'ad-hoc'
   so I changed 'managed' to 'ad-hoc' in slitaz network.conf.

   Now I am 'connected' - the network icon is in connected state but I get no IP.

   does slitaz NOT support ad-hoc connections?
   would porting network manager from gnome solve the problem?

   Key Master

   ad-hoc with no security
   Substitute wlan0 for your wireless adapter name.
   Open terminal,su, password: root
   Before you shut down the adapter with slitaz network.sh script run a scan:
   # iwlist wlan0 scan <= you should see the Cell broadcast from the phone with ESSID:<phone essid> and Mode:Ad-Hoc
   # /etc/init.d/network.sh stop
# iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc
# iwconfig wlan0 essid <phone essid> key off
# iwconfig wlan0 txpower on
# ifconfig wlan0 wlan0 up
# udhcpc -b -i wlan0 <= To get ip,gateway,dns address from phones dhcp server.

   To use ad-hoc in normal peer-to-peer without a dhcp server/internet connection sharing on one of the peers you assign each computer a different ip in the same subnet.
   # ifconfig wlan0 169.254.242.36 netmask 255.255.0.0 up <= computer a
   # ifconfig wlan0 169.254.242.37 netmask 255.255.0.0 up <= computer b
