I have been unable to get the pair of computers to talk at all in Ad- hoc mode. Windows only supports peer-to-peer mode which I am assuming is the same. So I set it up in BSS mode and it works, but not reliably. With the Windows box set to "Access Point", it connects and shows "peer to peer" mode on the right channel. After an indeterminate period of time, the fbsd box just quits communicating. -Chris > -s > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
