hiya!

thanks to andriy who already did the work I set out to do last week,
we have IBSS + one encryption setup (WPA_NONE.)

Here's what I have in a wpa_supplicant.conf file:

ap_scan=2

network={
ssid="CACHEBOY_IBSS_ENCRYPT"
psk="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
# set ibss
mode=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-NONE
pairwise=NONE
group=CCMP
}

Now, I tested this with ath(4) and fixed a couple of things that I
actually broke a few months ago (beacon filter handling.) There are
some suboptimal channel configuration configuration issues in how it
selects a channel and 11n channel configuration.

But, the good news is that we now do /some/ kind of encrypted IBSS.

Next up is WPA-RSN encryption for IBSS, which is more along the lines
of what linux supports these days. Andriy is apparently looking into
the missing pieces of this.

I'm going to see if urtwn + IBSS encryption interoperates with ath +
IBSS encryption and report back to the list.

Thanks,
