It works fine for me. It does not reliably work. Full stop. Works for some people, don't work for others. Doesn't set the right thing on all cards. If you want reliable ibss creation, the only way right now is to use ibss-create. If -c don't work for you, I don't wanna hear about it 'cause I don't support that interface anymore. If it works, more power to you. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
