As you know, there is no BSS mode for Hermes chipset, just prism. So we use IBSS, and on the orinoco clients it shows up in their client manager as peer-to-peer instead of access point. Anyways, we set the cards to channels 1,6, and 11, but sooner or later it always defaults back to channel 10. Any way to lock a orinoco in IBSS mode to a certain channel? We have a idea of what might be happening. A customer or just someone trying to associate is on a different channel, and somehow the freeBSD hilltop switches over to that channel. We've tried different versions of freeBSD, 4.5 and 4.7. Thanks for any help, Bob C To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
