Ian's wireless is system is a linux firewall with two ethernet
devices. The wireless device is in ad-hoc mode (linux can't emulate
a base station):
set MODE parm in /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts: MODE="Ad-Hoc"
Ian's wireless is using the old wavelan demo peer-to-peer mode.
If you have a newer PROM (may 6.04 or later) for an orinico wireless
card (known as Cabletron, Wavelan, you need to tell it to use the old
peer-to-peer mode:
install wireless-tools (for iwpriv)
set IWPRIV parm in /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts: IWPRIV="set_port3 1"
I don't have an iwconfig from this. sorry.
