[GTALUG] Ad Hoc network Question On Ubuntu

[Jim Ruxton]

I have some small devices that usually connect to a WIFI router and send
data to my laptop which is also connected to that router. I thought I would
try setting up an ad hoc network from my laptop without the router and have
the devices connect directly to my laptop. I set up the network with the
same SSID and password as the router.  The devices are programmed to send
to a specific IP address that my laptop is set to when on the router. The
problem I'm having is when I set up the ad hoc network I don't see any way
to set the IP address of my laptop on that ad hoc network. Is what I'm
trying to do possible. Is there a way to set the IP address for the ad hoc
network via the command line?
Thanks for any tips.
Jim
