[Casper] disable ad hoc networking

[Thomas Larkin]

Craig, if I were a betting man, I'd bet you are most likely right 

looking at the airportd daemon I want to know what other commands I can
use with it.  The man page is seriously lacking.  In fact it doesn't
display any information.  I will search the Apple White pages and see if
I can come up with something else, but the documentation is really light
on this. 

Thanks,

My guess...in the world of bits...

ibss_admin 0

Thanks!  Could you explain what the "-ibss_admin" switch means?  How
would this be undone if you needed to?

If your airport interface is not "en1", would you need to discover the
correct value and substitute it in the command?  Isn't airport en2 on
Mac Pros and en0 on MacBook Airs?

Such as:
airport_interface=`system_profiler SPNetworkDataType| grep -A 1
"Hardware: AirPort"` airport_interface=${airport_interface: -3}

expect -c 'spawn /usr/libexec/airportd $airport_interface -ibss_admin 1;
expect eof'


Thanks again for the great info!

For Airport? From Terminal,  sudo /usr/libexec/airportd en1 -ibss_admin
1

or for remote deployment:

expect -c 'spawn /usr/libexec/airportd en1 -ibss_admin 1; expect eof'
