	== On the ~~laptop~~ ==		== On the Client ==

	~~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~~
	~~sudo route add default gw 192.168.4~~.15		Note that on Android devices, a patched "wpa_supplicant" file may be necessary to see the network.
