Thanks for your information. Now I've got the latest airo.c and airo_cs.c
from
http://airo-linux.sourceforge.net, re-compiled the module. But the problem
seemed still there(When I tried to configure the card things messed up). Is
there
any extra work for me to do to pack the Rid structures? Or has it been done
in the latest version? I cannot find Nacho's information about it. Is there
some
further suggestion? (Maybe I need to change the source code by myself to
set the ad-hoc mode as the default mode.) Thanks!

Jianlin
