As you : know, there is no BSS mode for Hermes chipset, just prism. Eh? I'm using a Hermes chipset right now in bss mode. Or are you talking about hostap that we support with 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? How are you doing it? I have two hermes card with the following command: inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 0xffffff00 media DS1 mediaopt adhoc ssid \ SsidMio channel 3 wepmode on wepkey SekRit (well, except for the wepkey :-). I have friends that are using mediaopt ibss-create instead. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
