This driver is intended as an a/b test. "owi works, wi doesn't" is the case that I'm most insterested in facilitating turning into "wi works and owi works." If you get benefit out of it by making IBSS work where it doesn't work now, then you win and life is good. If not, then it is a bug in both owi and wi and less of a priority (for me anyway) to get fixed. Also, I'm not sure all the ifconfig options that work with wi will work with owi. They should, but who knows. : > If this doesn't work for you, I don't want to hear about it unless : > you are fixing the wi driver :-) : : Not even a "nope, didn't work"? Not really at this time. If we make it to 5.2 code freeze w/o resolution, then I'll change my tune. If you want to tell me, feel free, but I'll likely not do more than a 'noted, thanks' reply. What I don't want to sink a lot of time into is making this work for everybody at the expense of not having time to wi for lucent. Warner
