FreeBSD shorty 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #10: Sun Feb 24 10:54:31 PST 2002     root@shorty:/usr/src/sys/compile/SHORTY  i386
>Description:
The wi(4) driver for WaveLAN based 802.11b cards does not recognize standard adhoc mode (ptype == 0x4), and ifconfig returns incorrect status. The card can be put into standard ad-hoc operating mode via wicontrol
>How-To-Repeat:
wicontrol -i wi0 -p 4; ifconfig wi0
>Fix:
Patch against -STABLE:
http://public.boredom.org/~swift/code/if_wi.diff

Define WI_PORTTYPE_PADHOC as 0x3, WI_PORTTYPE_ADHOC as 0x4, and check for both when returning ad-hoc status information. Use WI_PORTTYPE_ADHOC in wi_media_change()
