|In an adhoc network, IBSS mode seems a natural choice,
That's what I thought a few years ago, but I changed my mind. The convergence
issue was a big reason, but there seem to be other incompatibilities among
vendors in ad-hoc mode. I've seen cases where two cards would appear to have
formed a network (and their respective utilities would confirm this) yet packets
failed to pass between them. Of course, if you can constrain your network nodes
to use only one vendor's hardware this may not be an issue. I didn't want to
give up the ability to use, e.g., the built-in WiFi on a PocketPC, so I couldn't
impose that constraint.
What did you change your mind to? "-p 3" mode? Does that do acks?
