This is from current built within the last week, I see the problem in both B & G mode and all other radios are B, haven't been able to try A yet. I haven't tried the debug yet, I'll try that. I did a search and I think I found the bug you mention, but couldn't find it was fixed. thanks! dave c At 09:42 PM 9/7/2003 -0700, Sam Leffler wrote: > > We're evaluating the Soekris 4801 and a 5212 based mini-PCI radio - It > > works well enough in infrastructure mode, but I'm having problems with > > adhoc. > > > > When the radio is operating in adhoc mode, I see multicast traffic, but > > no unicast traffic.
