OK, thanks - that works.
However, I have still been unsuccessful trying to get IBSS mode to
work with the new (or old) "iwi" driver. I ran:
ifconfig iwi0 inet <my-address> ssid FOOBAR channel 5
mediaopt adhoc up
and then "ifconfig iwi0" indicates
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect <adhoc>)
but no other clients are able to see it.
Has anyone gotten this to work? (I can't use BSS mode, because I
want to run it as a base station, and "hostap" doesn't work for it -
being a non-Prism chipset.)
