>Direct peer-to-peer ad-hoc/packet-injection transport (wlan plugin), which allows GNUnet to communicate directly over a wireless card via raw packet injection without needing an access point or an active internet connection (ideal for mesh/disaster scenarios).
Holy fuck, so all you need is an AR9280 to use this and no network connection! I looked it up and this is what I found:
>Yep, exactly! That is the beauty (and madness) of the transport-wlan plugin.
>Because it hooks straight into the mac80211 layer and uses raw packet injection, it completely bypasses the OS networking stack, IP addresses, DHCP, routers, access points, and upstream internet entirely.
>The AR9280 (powered by the legendary ath9k driver) is basically the gold-standard hardware for this exact kind of low-level wireless work because it has bulletproof open-source driver support for monitor mode and packet injection out of the box.
>When you spin it up:
> * Two machines with compatible cards just need to be forced onto the exact same physical Wi-Fi channel (e.g., channel 1).
> * GNUnet encapsulates its traffic directly into raw 802.11 frames injected straight through the card.
> * Nodes discover each other organically over the airwaves in a peer-to-peer ad-hoc fashion without ever "associating" with an AP.
It's essentially purpose-built for offline mesh networks, tactical deployments, off-grid comms, or surviving total internet blackouts.
All you need is to install this over Linux terminal command line (like Trisquel) and you're done.
