Applescript for automatic ad-hoc network at boot up - HELP!

Hello,
I have a Mac Mini that is used as an audio music server.  There is no attached keyboard, mouse or screen.  I control Itunes using Itunes Remote on an Ipad.
I use this setup for displaying in areas where there is no wi-fi.
I need to have a stable ad-hoc (computer to computer) network between the Mac Mini and the Ipad.
I want the Mac Mini to boot up with the ad-hoc network setup automatically.  I found the following Applescript out on the web that is suppose to do this:
property CreateMenuName : "Create Network…"
property NetworkName : "testNet"
tell application "System Events"
    tell process "SystemUIServer"
        tell menu bar 1
            set menu_extras to value of attribute "AXDescription" of menu bar items
            repeat with the_menu from 1 to the count of menu_extras
                if item the_menu of menu_extras is "Airport Menu Extra" then exit repeat
            end repeat
            tell menu bar item the_menu
                perform action "AXPress"
                delay 0.2
                perform action "AXPress" of menu item CreateMenuName of menu 1
            end tell
        end tell
        repeat until exists window 1
            delay 0.5
        end repeat
        tell window 1
            keystroke NetworkName
            click button 1
        end tell
    end tell
end tell
The problem is that I have errors all the time..... Most errors mean that I can not use the Mac Mini until I connect a screen, mouse and keyboard to repair the problem.....
1)  I have to have the Ipad "forget" the ad-hoc network name before I turn the Mac Mini on.
2)  At random times the Mac Mini says that the Network Name already exsists.
Sometimes it works fine.  Other times not at all.
Any help would be much appreciated!

  • Using netcfg for an Ad-Hoc network

    I have an app on my phone that allows me to tether via an Ad-Hoc network.  So I want to set up a netcfg profile.  I'm using what lcpci refers to as "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)" and I'm using the iwl3945 module.  Here's what I wrote:
    CONNECTION="wireless"
    DESCRIPTION="A simple WEP encrypted wireless connection"
    INTERFACE=wlan0
    SCAN="yes"
    SECURITY="none"
    ESSID="G1Tether "
    IP="dhcp"
    IWOPTS="mode Ad-Hoc essid $ESSID"
    But ... it doesn't work.  This is what netcfg reports:
    [root@pwn network.d]# netcfg tether
    :: tether up - Wireless association failed. [FAIL]
    Interestingly enough, iwconfig states that it is in Managed mode, even though I used iwopts to set it to ad-hoc:
    [max@pwn ~]$ iwconfig
    lo no wireless extensions.
    wmaster0 no wireless extensions.
    wlan0 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:"G1Tether "
    Mode:Managed Frequency:2.422 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
    Tx-Power=14 dBm
    Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B

    Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
    Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
    Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
    eth0 no wireless extensions.
    Something else that is interesting: if I try to switch modes while the interface is up, it will fail:
    [root@pwn network.d]# iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc
    Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Device or resource busy.
    I have to manually bring the interface down with ifconfig, set it to ad-hoc, then bring it up.  Perhaps this has something to do with it, I'm not entirely sure.
    What should I try to make this work?  If I use iwconfig, I can associate with my phone just fine.  It gets an IP and I'm able to go online, so it works.  And also, is there a way to use netcfg to set ad-hoc mode without using IWOPTS=()?
    edit - Yes, I know there's a space in the essid, it's supposed to be that way

    Hi,
    Thanks again for your time.
    This is what happens when I try to run netcfg.
    [sam@sony ~]$ sudo netcfg g2

    dhcpcd: wlan0: waiting for carrier
    dhcpcd: timed out

    SCAN="NO"
    TIMEOUT=15
    PRE_UP="ifconfig wlan0 down; iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc; iwconfig wlan0 essid g2; ifconfig wlan0 up; dhcpcd wlan0"
    I even stopped the wicd daemon. No difference. It keeps trying to connect to the home network even with the router switched off.
    Not sure where to go from here.

  • Automatic creation of ad hoc network

    I regularly have to facilitate workshops using Keynote slides.  I use Keynote Remote to control the presentation which requires the creation of an ad hoc network that is password protected.
    My procedure for this starts with the MBP where in the Finder menu bar I select the Airport Menu then Create Network… and fill in the text in the dialog box.  Then turn on WiFi on the iPad and locate this network and join it using the password.
    I tend to set the same name for my ad hoc network (showtime) and five digit WEP password which means that the iPad just locates and logs on automatically.
    Now I want to automate the setup side as I want to reduce my set up time (and stress) when getting ready for a workshop (it's bad enough having to deal with strange data projectors and hard wired AV facilities) or when returning from a lunch break when I tend to take my MBP and iPad with me for security reasons.
    I have found that Location services in the network pane of System Preferences completely lacking as it does not retain details of ad hoc networks users may create.
    Anyone know of a good third party application that would automate this?  Or a good Apple Script for Mac OSX 10.6.7 that would do it?

    I'd forget about administering administrators, and framework-level activities here, and go down a level.
    Here's a built-in low-level monitor for local networks:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport -s
    You'll typically see the MAC addresses, names and channels involved.  Polling that data could probably be scripted to broadcast a notification from a local (trusted) client, too.  Roll that up with generic MAC data collection and you can probably identify the client device involved.  (Until the gremlins discover MAC spoofing.)
    The usual (technical) response to detecting and preventing these networks is not via client settings — phones can do ad-hoc these days, after all — but rather via tools that can explicitly detect rogue access points (APs) and such; an old intro and some Cisco Radio Monitoring details. 
    Some APs can send disassociate packets into rogue network, though that's a solution and an approach that I'd view rather skeptically, and would want clear and explicit administrative and legal buy-in before deploying anything like that.  Same for collecting and saving MAC data and locality data; that can potentially be personally-identifying data.  Remember also to account for the possibility of MAC spoofing when forming any administrative or disciplinary policies here, too.

  • [Problem] Issue to create Ad-Hoc Network for iPad via MacBook

    Hello everyone,
    I have a white MacBook (2007) and an iPad 2.
    I am at a hotel which only has a cable Internet access.
    I would like to create an Ad-Hoc Network with my MacBook to use the iPads WiFi.
    I was able to create the Ad-Hoc Network via the Internet-Sharing in the MacBook Settings, but as soon as I switch on the Sharing, neither the MacBook Internet nor the iPad Internet are working (I also tried it with my not jailbroken iPhone 3GS, same result). When I switch off the WiFi from my MacBook, at least I can use the Internet via cable.
    Is it possible that the Internet is not strong enough to use it with 2 devices. I forgot my MacBook charger, does this maybe a reason that it is not working, because the MacBook doesn't have enough power?
    What else can be a reason.
    I heard it should be quiet easy to create an Ad-Hoc connection, but now I wonder why it is not working.
    I would appreaciate any help.
    If you need more information, please let me know.
    Thank you in advance.

    But this doesn't mention at all how to connect iphones, ipods and ipads.
    Your original post didn't mention those. But now it sounds like your wireless access point is down. That's a separate issue. Unless you have a specific need for an ad-hoc network, I suggest you fix your WAP and connect all the devices to it.

    I browsed several boards and a huge set of websites but did find anything related.

    At the first time yes, because i'm using an extra raid controller. That's because the environment 'boot-device' has to be set to a value different than 'disk'.
    At the end of the jumpstart installation i have to type 'init 6' for reboot manually and the environment 'boot-device' has its default value. Thats why the server isn't boot and fall back to net boot.

  • Which Airprint enabled HP-Printers support ad hoc network?

    I want to buy a printer/scanner for my mother who uses an iPad 2 with 3G-connection. She doesn't have Wifi. Now there are several printers which support ad hoc network so that the Ipad could directly connect to the printer and print through Airprint.
    First I thought about the Photosmart 5510 or 5515, but i read here in the forum that the 5510 doesn't support ad hoc network.
    Can someone please tell me which printers i could use for printing through Airprint and an ad hoc network? Will scanning directly to the Ipad also work?
    Thanks a lot and best regards, O.
    PS. Meanwhile I found the term "HP wireless direct" which seems to stand in for an ad hoc network. Unfortunately I haven't found any list of printers which support HP wireless direct.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    LearningAdHoc,
    I am going to speak from the prospective of the m251 laserjet printer with regards to wireless direct. If you are looking at this printer's control panel and turn wireless direct on, then  your iOS device will detect it. You can even go into your Embedded Web Server (EWS) and change your wireless direct and Bonjour name if you would like to make it more recognizable or have more than one printer your would like to have on the network. Once you have done have turned on the wireless direct from your control panel, you go into your setting on your iOS device, wi-fi > choose a network > and choose the printer (caveat - the "spinning wheel" will keep turning, just ignore it).  Go back to your setting main menu and you should see that your printer has been choose as the access point. You can then go into your photos, safari, etc and print from them by choose the action button and when the menu comes up choose print > select your print (should already be selected).
    The wireless direct connection and the cellular internet connection can be used at the same time but a word of caution....if you have a wi fi network setup, you will have to jump between the 2 to print....make sense?
    I am an HP employee.

  • Creating ad-hoc network for iTouch in XP

    Has anyone been able to sucessfully create an ad-hoc network within Windows XP and get there iPod touch online with it? (***** that you can't import certificates on the iTouch yet...)

    Ok, a few points.
    1) I'm not sure if you are using just your laptop and the iPod. If so you will need another computer to keep the network alive. If you don't add another computer the network will stay alive for a short period of time which will allow you to at least use it for a little while.
    2) Do you have Internet connection sharing enabled in windows? Go to Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Right click your Internet connection -> Click the 'Advanced' Tab up top -> And check the box 'Allow other users to connect through this computer's Internet connection'
    3) If you have done the above or are sure your internet connection is being shared ie. Another device (other than the device directly connected to the Internet) on the network can use the Internet. Ensure that the computer connected directly to the Internet has the IP address 192.168.0.1
    To check this go to Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Right click your WIRELESS network connection.
    In the area below "This connection uses the following items:" scroll down to "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)", select it and hit properties.
    Ensure "Obtain an IP address automatically" is NOT checked. Enter the IP address 192.168.0.1 if it is not already entered. Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0.
    Once you have done this.
    On your iPod Touch go to Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Whatever your network is called (tap the blue arrow next to this)
    Under IP Address click "Static"
    Enter and IP Address not used on your network. eg. "192.168.0.2" DON'T USE "192.168.0.1" as we just used it for the computer connected to the Internet!
    Subnet mask is "255.255.255.0"
    Router is "192.168.0.1" - Yes I know you don't have a router but the computer connecting to the Internet is acting as one. If you wish you can also enter DNS as "192.168.0.1". I have but it shouldn't really have any impact.
    You're Internet should now work assuming you don't have a proxy enabled, which I seriously doubt you would. If you do then enable HTTP Proxy below where you just entered your IP address and enter your proxy username and password.
    Everything should work now.

  • [SOLVED] Scan for wireless networks at boot

    Lately I've been making extensive use of public wifi hotspots (libraries FTW), as mobile broadband is simply too unreliable to give me a persistent (and cheap) connection.
    Is it possible to use some combination of netcfg and wifi-select (or similar tools) to scan for wireless networks at boot?
    I've already got entries in rc.conf for my mobile dongle and automatically detecting ethernet connections, but it's pointless adding entries for whichever wireless profiles I might use as searching for these and discovering they don't exist just needlessly slows the boot process, whereas running something similar to wifi-select at boot (with a timeout so an unattended boot won't wait for me to make a selection) would avoid this.
    * Obviously I could just wait until the system has booted and then bring up the interface I wanted manually, but generally I only reboot my system after updates, and I only download updates at a wifi hotspot, so I was hoping to automate something here.

  • Using Airport Express to set up an ad hoc network for presentations

    I have to give a presentation where I will both need my MacBook Pro and iPad. I may or may not have a wireless network available (will depend on location). Is there a way that I can use an Airport Express to set up an ad hoc network and use an Apple TV for AirPlay from my iPad and laptop?

    Easy to do. Just set up the AirPort Express to "Create a wireless network".
    When you see the "error" message(s) that there is not an Ethernet cable plugged into the WAN port and/or no Internet connection, click "ignore" and you will have a green light on the Express.
    Wireless devices will connect to the network by selecting it and entering the password.

  • Ad hoc network for ipod touch

    I know there's several posts about this but non are specific to my setup so I though I would create my own thread.
    My setup
    I have a pc running vista 32 bit and I use this as my server. My internet connection goes through this pc and i shared amonst 3 other pcs. This pc has 2 NIC's, 1 for the internet/modem and is shared, the other to connect to my 1gb hub. I do not have a router, I have the net shared through the server pc then on to a hub which the other pcs are connected too. I have assigned static ips to the network computers and all manage to get on the net.
    My laptop (win XP Pro) which is one of the computers connected to this hub also has built in wireless and I would like to know how I can use this wireless feature to get my ipod touch online as well.
    The laptop is on the net using the NIC and everything is fine. For the wireless connection I setup an ad hoc connection and it's showing up in the wireless network connections in XP on the same laptop so that's running correctly. My ipod finds this wifi and does connect, however i can not browse the net using it. It keeps saying Safari can not find the server.
    server pc wired - ip 192.168.0.1
    laptop wired - ip 192.168.0.2
    laptop wireless - ip 192.168.0.3
    I have tried the following settings in my ipod wifi settings.
    ip 192.168.0.4
    subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    router 192.168.0.1
    The wifi symbol shows up in the top left of the ipod but again it just won't connect to the internet. IS my network too complicated or not how things should be setup? I know ad hoc works but perhaps i'm not doing it right.
    Any help would be great. Thanks!

  • Connecting to an ipv6 ad-hoc network

    hello
    I am tryin to connect to an ad-hoc network with the iPad (iOS 4.2). As far as I know, from iOS 4.2, the iPad should be ipv6 capable. As my ad-hoc network is an ipv6 net, I wa pretty happy. However, when I connect to the ad-hoc net, it doesn't seem to be possible to enter a static ipv6 address. At least the input window for the address, netmask etc. looks exactly the same as if I would configure it for ipv4 and, as soon as I enter an IPv6 address and netmask and go back to the setting - then return, the static address is lost and the connection is automatically switched back to DHCP (eventhough there is no dhcp on the ad-hoc network).
    Does anybody encounter similar issues? Some help would be really great...

    Hi @Handrlica,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that you are wondering how to connect your HP Officejet Pro 8620 to an existing ad-hoc network. I am happy to look into this for you!
    This printer does not have ad-hoc capability. However it does have these options of connecting: Wireless, Wireless Direct (similar to ad-hoc), Ethernet, and NFC.
    I would take a look at connecting through either Wireless or Wireless Direct. Please see the following guides:
    'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Windows 7. 
    Printing with HP Wireless Direct.
    For future reference, here is your printer's specifications, and user guide.
    Hope this clears things up for you, and have a great day!

  • Windoze Ad-hoc networks killing Airport Extreme Base Station

    After having a horrible experience with an Orinoco base station sometime ago at his coffee shop, a client of mine asked me to install a new Wi-Fi access point to replace it. Since I'd never had a problem with my graphite Airport Base Station, I selected recommended that he try the Airport Extreme. Everything was been fine for over a year and half, with only the occasional interference problem, and even that easily fixed by a restart on the base station. Lately that has changed. We're in Baton Rouge, and since Hurricane Katrina, our population in our city has doubled (that's not an exaggeration), and the number of customers using the network in his coffee shop has increased as well - although it's still well below the maximum. The problem is that there are is large number of students from Loyola, UNO and Tulane who are now attending LSU, right across the street. And a significant fraction of those have ad-hoc networks set up on their Windoze notebooks, apparently unintentionally. When they come into the coffee shop their ad-hoc networks seems to cause the Airport Extreme to die, and not recover, until it is reset. This happens many times per day, sometimes more than once in an hour.
    It had been configured to automatically select a channel, but I re-configured to use a specific channel (and have been experimenting with the particular channel). It seems to reduce the problem for a time, but then we'll have the problem back in force within a few days.
    I have verified (using iStumbler) that there are no other "managed" networks near-by, and I have noticed that the problem ALWAYS happens when there is are ad-hoc networks, and after politely asking customers if I can check their settings, (it's scary how many people will let you poke around on their computer, if you seem like you know what you're doing) I've also seen compelling evidence that it is Windoze users, not Mac users, who tend to cause the problem. Incidentally at this particular coffee shop the Windoze:Mac ration is something like 60:40. What can I say, it attracts discerning customers. Since some of them have "lsuwireless" set up as an ad-hoc network (and as I said, LSU is across the street), my guess is that somehow these get set up, not on purpose, but accidentally, while trying to connect to the university's wireless network. Apparently the process is not so straight forward for Windoze users as for Mac users.
    I have upgraded the Airport Base Station software to the latest available as of last week. Though I don't have that version number available at the moment.
    So I have several questions:
    1) Is this really the same radio interference problem that I've read about elsewhere on this discussion board?
    2) Would an external antenna on the base station help? How about a powered one?
    3) Aside from "Use Interference Robustness" and trying different channels, is there some configuration setting that I might be missing that could enhance the base station's reliability?
    4) Does anyone have a suggestion for a permanent fix - preferably without switching to a different access point, although at this point, that's a viable alternative. After a year and a half of stable operation though, we're loathe to switch again unless it can't be avoided, because the Orinoco access point we used before had behaved exactly like this, but even worse, and without necessarily having ad-hoc networks being present to cause the problem.
    5) Failing any other good solution, can anyone suggest a way to determine which computers are causing the problem without having to interrupt each customer to poke around on his computer?

    I have an Intel based iMac and a MacBook Pro. Both
    are (well until tonight) connected to the internet
    wirelessly through the Airport Extreme Base station.
    I've had no trouble up until now. Tonight for some
    odd reason the MacBook Pro Airport card fails to
    detect the Airport Extreme Base Station. It detects
    OTHER wireless networks around the building, just
    not the one it's supposed to connect to. Opening up
    Airport Utility doesn't even show the Airport
    Extreme Base Station being present. I know the Base
    Station is not at fault - it works fine with the
    iMac. Tried setting the Sharing mode on but that
    didn't help either (not that I changed any of the
    settings to begin with).
    Can anyone help? I'm really at a loss here.
    Any one? Any suggestions?

  • ISE machine authentication - only plug in to the network after booting

    Hi experts.
    I have recently deployed ISE with machine authentication. 
    However, when the machine is already plugged in to the switch before booting, the machine does not authenticate automatically. It isn't until I log on, using a local computer account, that 802.1X authentication occurs. Using wireshark, I have verified again that this authentication is MACHINE authentication, not user-authentication.
    Is there a way to solve this problem, other than having my users unplug their computer and only plug in to the network after booting?
    Eric

    Hi Vattulu,
      The method of machine access restriction will be used, because there is no a plan to use anyconnect NAM on the client environment, since the prerequisite for EAP-chaining is to use anyconnect.
    Regards,
    Eric
