This particular page is kind of chopped up because I'm in the middle of a
war between the Dell TrueMobile 1150 card (Agere firmware) and its partner,
a Linksys WPC11 (Intersil firmware), running in AdHoc mode. But you can see
how I set it up.

(Advice has been that AdHoc firmware support has more bugs than Managed,
and following that advice, I've bitten the bullet and ordered an Agere
AP-200 access point.  The Dell card works fine with Cisco AP's.)
