This is the result of the misleading terminology. On Lucent cards, you need the following for an IBSS: wicontrol -p 1 wicontrol -n "IBSS" In addition, *at least one* station (card) must do wicontrol -c 1 With the Lucent firmware, this creates a BSSID with the MAC address of that station, with bit 6 of the first octet set. For example: Current BSSID: [ 02:02:2d:28:de:bf ] MAC address: [ 00:02:2d:28:de:bf ] This is the only contribution of this station. Once it has done this, it can go away and the other stations can still communicate between each other.
