Seems as if there > are more problems with ad-hoc and iwl3945. I understand. Thanks for your testing. There indeed appears to be more problems with ad-hoc and iwl3945, but they are unrelated to the patch that you tested. > Did ad-hoc work in the "old" iwl3945 (before the API change > with old version 1.1.17, compared to new version 1.2.23/26)? This needs to be checked. We do have some bug reports about ad-hoc mode in iwl3945 (see http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1472). In this case it was specific to ad-hoc mode in b mode. We will look more into ad-hoc mode with iwl3945. Reinette
