When my Linux server talks to my laptop booted into WinXP (only for
testing, you can be sure :-)  with the Linux box in IBSS mode, the cards
interoperate, implying that the WinXP default is real IBSS mode, and I
would assume that Win2K would do the same thing.

I think I remember seeing a checkbox or Advanced Parameter for selecting
Ad-Hoc Demo mode, but I can't be sure.
