it's a lucent AP configured as Ad-Hoc. i did sent my
essid correctly, in fact, my orinoco silver works with
it (i also have an intersil and it *somewhat* works
with it too, just a few TX and BAP from time to time).
I also take note of what wireless tools command my
cards support. Sometimes issuing unsupported iwconfig
command sends my Intersil card to oblivion (or it
seems like it).

whah?! you mean I'm on the wrong side of the road?
well actually, my environment is a LEAF Dachstein
2.2.19 LRP (http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/). But I build
my modules on a RH6.2 box with a 2.2.19 source tree.
Same tree I use when adding features to my LRP kernel.

Actually, all I'm really after is to determine the
brand/model of wireless card that I can use for my
environment, and be able to switch from Ad-Hoc and AP
mode without having to replace my card.

Also, one of my wishlist is for orinoco drivers to
support bridging (I can do bridging with hostap).

Thanks - Vic
