After some experimenting I read again doc/config.linux-wlan-ng file and
there was paragraph ...
>"Many of the choices involved in choosing configuration variable
>are dependent on whether you are setting up your system as a

From it I conclude that this driver, at least in default setup, does not
support AdHoc mode.
Am I correct.?

If so then there is 2 options
1. is a driver developed so that AdHoc is impossible or;
2. i'ts enough to modify startup scripts (to add few MIB variables) to
switch card to AdHoc?

Any comments?
