Neither have I. ("ifconfig iwi0" tells me that the card is running
in IBSS mode, but no other clients seem to see it.)
It would nice if someone could figure out how to get this working.
(In the meantime, I've placed an order for a different mini PCI card
- the Xterasys XG600 - which uses the Prism chipset, and so should (I
hope) wotk with "hostap".)
