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...
