Orinoco Gold in Ad-hoc mode

[". ." <tiny_short@hotmail.com>]

Good morning all. I'm hoping someone may be able to point me in the right 
direction.

I'm trying to get an OpenBSD 3.0-stable laptop to work in ad-hoc (peer to 
peer) mode with an Orinoco card connecting to a win2k device with another 
orinoco card

I'm using the following Settings:

# ifconfig wi0 10.0.0.10 up
# wicontrol -p 3 -f 6 -n peer_test

Firing up netstumbler it fails to pick this up and I cant ping
any other device in peer mode however if I do:

# wicontrol -p 1

Netstumbler imediately picks the device up.

Any one have any pointers?   Also would any one be able to tell me how I can 
keep my wicontrol setting through reboots.
