Hi, The adhoc-demo mode is also called pseudo-adhoc mode. It is simply the ad-hoc mode without control pkts. It does not probe for or associate to adjacent adhoc networks. The user has to set all the nodes to the same channel manually. The good thing of adhoc-demo is that it does not have the beaconing overhead or the IBSS merging/splitting problem. We used adhoc-demo mode under madwifi for long time and it worked perfectly. Now we have to shift to ath9k but found out the mode is not supported. I am just wondering if there is an easy way to hack adhoc mode to disable beaconing and association.
