-	~~Connect~~ to the ad hoc wireless network:	+	Simply connect to the ad hoc wireless network.
-	~~sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc channel 3~~	+
-	~~sudo ifconfig wlan0 192~~.~~168.4.14 up~~	+	In this configuration, a DHCP server is not run by the N900, so addresses will have to be manually assigned to clients.
-	~~sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid N900~~	+
