Mac to windows/ubuntu adhoc internet sharing

Mac to Ubuntu adhoc

1. System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet Sharing -> AirPort -> AirPort Options

Chanel: Automatic

WEP: Enabled

Password: 13 symbol anything (I used 9 letters and 4 numbers)

WEP key length: 128-bit

2. Save and start sharing. (This should create network)

3. Ubuntu -> Find network clicking on WiFi icon

4. Connect to using that key (key type should be 128 passphrase and not 40/128)

5. Goto Network Connections -> Wireless Tab -> Edit connection -> Security -> Switch from Open to Shared

6. Reconnect
