Re: IPsec wifi link in ad-hoc mode

Why not switch to TKIP/WPA or WPA2? As you're talking about laptops, this
should be doable (it wouldn't if you had an old AP that only supports
WEP).

I read things about wpa_supplicant but didn't get to understand if it's
possible to use in ad-hoc mode.

As long as the laptop acting as AP only accepts IPSec traffic (more
specifically, authenticated IPSec traffic) you should be quite safe.

None of the laptops is an AP. They are both in ad-hoc mode.

Thanks!
