Should we maybe fold ibss and ibss-master into one option? From reading OpenBSD's driver, I think one of the reasons that they have it separate, is that the Symbol firmware do not support creating an ibss, well at least we don't know how. Or are there times when would want to use ibss without using the "create an ibss" option? About the adhoc option, I can just say it is pretty confusing if you use the an(4) and wi(4) drivers at the moment. :-) My feeling is that the possible breakage that it can cause is less hassles that what we have at the moment where adhoc means different things to different drivers.
