Ad-Hoc (IBSS) doesn't work V1.02
Brought to you by:

The driver doesn't initialize the trilogy card correctly to
allow inter-operation with other systems when IBSS mode
(port_type=3) or PIBSS mode (port_type=2). The trilogy
card requires port type set to 1 for ESSID, 3 for PIBSS,
and 4 for IBSS, while the driver simply passes the values
in verbatim from the load configuration.
I have patches to fix this, but there's still a strange problem
causing the card not to respond to other systems until there
are three systems in the IBSS peers.
Tested against Win98 + Windows CE drivers.

I have it working in IBSS mode using port_type=4 with two
laptops, one with W2K and the otherone with RH 7.2, the
only problem i had experienced is that when I try to transfer a
lot a data it will loose conection.
