[Airo-linux-general] ad hoc mode - link quality goes to 176 and never returns

[Ian C. <id...@en...>]

I'm doing some ad hoc networking with the Aironet 350 cards (firmware
4.25.23) on Linux 2.4 (with airo-Linux driver).  Sometimes one or more
of the nodes link quality goes to 176 and I can't get them to return to
the ad hoc network.  The only way I've found is to restart pcmcia and
then set all the nodes to a new essid.
Also, I've experimented with moving nodes in and out of range of each
other, often I see the same behavior.  They work, then move out of
range, then move into range and they don't reconnect (the link quality
stays at 176 forever).  
Has anyone had similar experiences?  Does anyone know the reason (or a
solution) to this problem?
Thanks,
