Trying to bring up madwifi interface in Fedora 5, works fine on managed
with this configuration:

and gives the above error ( Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) )
for ad-hoc:
{{{

Comment:
Looks like a set of scripts that are not yet fully compatible with
madwifi-ng. They seem to try to change the operating mode of an existing
VAP via "iwconfig ath0 mode ...", which is not supported by current
MadWifi versions.
This is no bug, but a known "limitation". It is planned to make changing
of VAP operation mode via iwconfig working again in the future, but for
now it must be done as [http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/ChangingMode
described here].
