Interesting. I guess we never rejected it although it's invalid

reject it, but maybe I'll forget about it and let you use it ;)
Sorry, I don't know about mac80211. This was more a general point.
I thought this woudn't work at all but a co-worker was adamant that
it works fine with Madwifi. So I sat down and observed it with
a monitoring interface and lo and behold: The beacons really contained
the broadcast SSID.
Oh ok. I didn't see anything in cfg80211 but will check and post a
patch :)

Sorry to reply late, but in IBSS, beacons are really critical for
synchronization (including BSSID & TSF). As such, they cannot be removed.
AFAIK, adhoc DEMO is just like adhoc, but without beacons. As such,
there is no synchronization and every node use the BSSID
00:00:00:00:00:00, preventing from having several "networks" on the same
frequency (since there is no SSID to distinguish them).
What you said is that you are using the broadcast SSID instead? And a
fixed BSSID? I would indeed appreciate the capture file :-)

Benoit
