That's not what I was referring to -- and wext doesn't actually allow what I'm referring to afaik. When you want to create an IBSS on channel 5, what do you do? I think you have to iwconfig wlan0 essid test iwconfig wlan0 channel 5 iwconfig wlan0 ap off # clear fixed channel bit which is ... weird. OTOH with mac80211 you can also say iconfig wlan0 channel -1 but that's even more strange. johannes
