Re: Orinoco Gold in Ad-hoc mode

vi /etc/hostname.wi0

the whole adhoc vs bss mode...

this has been our experience.

netgear wireless nics will talk to the orinoco's while in adhoc, BUT you can 
not get two orinoco's to talk toghether in adhoc mode or for that matter a 
cisco aironet.

moral of the story, keep everything set to BSS mode for compatibliity.
