The in-kernel orinoco_pci driver couldn't do this setting either. The only driver capable of setting all desired paramteres was hostap (I agree that the setup is not really standart: prism2_param wlan0 ptype 3 prism2_param wlan0 pseudo_ibss 1 prism2_param wlan0 other_ap_policy 3 iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc This is compatible with OpenBSD's idea of good ad-hoc mode. The prism2_param is from hostap-utils and needs the hostap driver.) I therefore suggest, that the description for this package states, that if this package does not work, hostap should be tried instead. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.5 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --/9DWx/yDrRhgMJTb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAkO5iRel1vVwhjGURAkrSAJ90WGoomE1gzOU4RAt46hPtVTGBKwCffaAI YSD2om54YNHkFduSY9No2Kw= =9oJl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --/9DWx/yDrRhgMJTb--
