At home, I have a wireless access point which is directly connected to rl1.
To eliminate the access point, I put a wireless PCI card in the machine,
and configured it for hostap mode.
A laptop running Linux is the wireless client. When the client associates
with the ral0 card, the connection is established but has a packetloss of
about 30%, and a noticeable amount of duplicate packets. When the client
associates with the wireless access point, the connection has no packetloss
and no duplicates. (Both tested using "ping -f", directly pinging the
access point and the IP adress on ral0.) I've tried to rule out things
like distance.
CAVEATS section in ral's man page.

The ural driver supports automatic control of the transmit speed in BSS
mode only. Therefore the use of a ural adapter in Host AP mode is dis-
couraged.
