Unfortunately, the driver for my Lucent card doesn't support this command and I presume that it's not possible w/ the current firmware. As someone already stated: though the card was quite good and stable at past meetings, this time it was really annoying. Either the firmware needs an update to take the new conditions (mixed environment w/ ad-hoc nets) into account or I'll have to change the vendor. Roland
