Not that I know of. BTW, if anyone is interested, I would really appreciate if somebody wants to reverse engineer the 802.11a part of bcm4309/bcm4312/bcm4319, I'm stuck because of missing specs and I would get tainted if I do that. It would very probably support 802.11a ad-hoc mode then. -- Ciao Stefano
