there is a chance to get the cards working without ad-hoc mode AND without
anything like an AP, i guess that its a general failure in the
802.11b-specs:

setup a card (perhaps in a windows-pc) using the new 802.11b-compliant
adhoc mode and power up this card first. this card will create something
that is called "ibss"..

then setup a second card, using infrastructured mode.

i dont know why, but this card can connect the other one, whatever
essid is set in either card... if you dont use wep, this is a reasonable
security hole...

i used a wl100 with win in new adhc mode and an airlancer mc11 in
"managed" mode and they connected with ANY essid set at the wl100...

i would like to here, if this is working generally, and why...
