I had an earlier email about a watchdog timeout
problem with my orinoco card with pci adapter
(freebsd4.4)whenever i ifconfig it.else everything
looks fine with the led's being normal,wicontrol works
too.

when my wi is setup in ibss mode,it links up with
another 3com pci card(in ad-hoc mode,same SSID,same
channel).But i cant ping them.guess its still the
ifconfig watchdog timeout problem of my wi driver.

strangely when  i set up my wi card in ad-hoc mode it
doesnt link with the 3com card(in ad-hoc mode,same
SSID,same channel) and again cant ping. 

here's my ifconfig,wicontrol(in ibss mode) and
wicontrol(in ad-hoc mode).
