I'm using kernel 3.18 with wireless drivers from backports in OpenWRT CC, so it should be pretty recent... I wonder to what level did you verify the IBSS operation? I did get it to basically work as well, sometimes it works well, but sometimes I get a packet loss of about 15-20% and outages of connectivity for a while. This happens not always immediately, but reproducibly after some time. Try pinging for an hour or so...? I traced it down to ARP replies being apparently "sent" on the device (tcpdump shows it locally) but they don't make it onto the "air"... If you or anyone else can confirm ad-hoc mode really works, on some version of the driver, I'll start to investigate more. bruno -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
