Well, I put two of these:

wi0: <Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE> at port 0x100-0x13f irq 11 function 0 co
nfig 1 on pccard0
wi0: 802.11 address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
wi0: using Lucent Technologies, WaveLAN/IEEE
wi0: Lucent Firmware: Station (8.10.1)
wi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps

in laptops running 5.2-soontobe, and they can't find each other nor talk
adhoc to the other even if one is running win2K. Running both in win2k works
and so does talking to an AP.
The problems with atwi that you are referring to are very semilar so to
me it suggests our 80211 code which is common has something todo with the
problems at hand.
