You are correct about the options (last I checked). Notice the "flag0" in your ifconfig line... From comments Warner has made nad other source, it appears you are running one card in IEEE peer-peer mode and the other in the "demo ad-hoc" mode, which are incompatible. On your -stable machine, use: wicontrol -p 1 On -current use: /sbin/ifconfig wi0 media autoselect mediaopt adhoc ssid You shouldnt need wicontrol on -current at all. I'm fairly certain this was the setup that allowed my lucent cards to communicate. If that does not work, check the output of "ifconfig -m wi0" on -current and see what options give you adhoc without the "flag0"! Good luck! -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus!
