Making multiple network profiles

[gcotant]

I've got the wireless setup and working, and I've got a wireless profile setup for home. However, I take my pi with me sometimes and I need it to be able to access two other network connections depending on the situation. This unique situation is when I am outside of the home network then I will need to switch between the school network and the ad hoc network (hosted by my laptop). Don't question it, my situation is weird. I'm also working from console mode.

Here is my problem: when I attempt to switch networks, the command gives this error:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Job for netctl@wireless\x2dadhoc.service failed. See " systemctl status 'netctl@wireless\x2dadhoc'" and "journalctl -xe" for details.')

Here is what the systemctl status says:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '*netctl@wireless\xd2dadhoc.service.service - Networking for netctl profile wireless-adhoc.service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/netctl1@.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:netctl.profile(5)')

And I can't find the error in journalctl -xe command.

Any help is appreciated.

Disable all netctl services, systemctl enable netctl-auto@wlan0 should work
It runs thru /etc/netctl trying all profiles that have interface set to wlan0 until it finds a worker

Right but how do I manually switch to adhoc when I need to. It just sounds like it will always default to the school network the moment I turn it on.

You can't unless you already have a connection to rpi. Get a second wifi adapter that will only do your laptop i guess...
