Hi Are the Orinoco's really doing a generic ad-hoc? Or is it a hacked up thing? Can you obtain the BSS id's from the Orinocos (should be the same) and the one from the Cisco card. If an ad-hoc node does not actually find a BSS it can create a new one on its own. Additionally look at the low level parameters such as DIFS, PIFS, beacon interval etc. There may be a mismatch between these on the different manufacturers cards. Are both WiFi certified to be interoperable in ad-hoc mode? 802.11 is an advisory standard and there is a lot of difference in implementations...
