One question, though. I'm trying to use it in ad-hoc mode. If there's no
other station with the same essid, it just keeps mentioning that

wlan0: No matching adhoc sta found. Creating IBSS 00:04:e2:3f:2a:70 CHAN=11
And the IBSS changes every time, which is about every 30 seconds. Is it
really supposed to change the IBSS each time?
Probably not, but I never debugged adhoc mode enough.
If there're some tests I can help with, just ask.
I've decided yesterday that I really should get myself a WRT54G or
somesuch. So there's not much pressure for this adm8211 anymore.
The reason I ask is that my wife has a laptop with an Atheros chip in
it. If it is configured for ad-hoc it creates the IBSS and sticks with
it. So I now have two computers that have different behaviour in this
respect. That in itself is not, I guess, a problem. But it seems to me
that the random IBSS created by the adm8211 would result in two stations
not seeing eachother or taking longer than necessary to find eachother?
Have you checked? I think the bssid should stop changing once another station
with the same ssid comes into range.
Well, it took more than 1 minute and I left for coffee. When I returned
they had found eachother.
Do you perhaps know whether there's a sourcetree somewhere of the dscape
code that can be compiled as external modules for 2.6.18?
At least I can help test the dscape code, which I understand is the
current future of wireless in linux.
Thanks,
