From the current wicontrol man page: snip--------------------- Allow the station to create a service set (IBSS). Permitted values are 0 (don't create IBSS) and 1 (enable creation of IBSS). The default is 0. Note: this option is provided for experimental purposes only: enabling the creation of an IBSS on a host system doesn't appear to actually work. --------------- Jim Flowers #4 ranked ISP on C|NET #1 in Ohio On Sun, 27 Aug 2000, Wes Peters wrote: > Jim Flowers wrote: > > > > Last I checked the wi driver will not do IBSS and says so in the > > documentation.
