with this configuration which was worker some versions earlier,
the adhoc-wifi does not come up: ("Cell: Not-Associated")
{{{
wireless.radio0=wifi-device
wireless.radio0.type=mac80211
wireless.radio0.channel=5
wireless.radio0.hwmode=11g
wireless.radio0.htmode=HT20
wireless.radio0.path=platform/ath9k
wireless.@wifi-iface[0]=wifi-iface
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].device=radio0
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].network=wlanadhoc
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].mode=adhoc
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].bssid=02:ca:ff:ee:ba:be
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].ssid=bb
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].mcast_rate=1000
wireless.@wifi-iface[1]=wifi-iface

}}}
however when removing 'mcast_rate' it works.
with mcast_rate this command from /lib/netifd/wireless/mac80211.sh fails:
{{{
iw dev 'wlan0' ibss join 'bb' 2432 HT20 fixed-freq 02:ca:ff:ee:ba:be
mcast-rate 10
}}}
digging through the script there is a (for me) confusing
call in line 530 of /lib/netifd/wireless/mac80211.sh
{{{
hostapd_add_rate mcval "$mcast_rate"
}}}
in the wiki: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/wireless
it says "only for adhoc mode". i'am lost...
