The problem was really that the drivers (Prism-II) had been upgraded to handle the standardized IBSS Ad-Hoc mode. But I had not upgraded my bridge/router/firewall... To force the old "demo mode" you can use the command: > iwpriv ethX set_port3 1 But of cause it is better to upgrade to IBSS compliant mode. Note: With earlier version of wireless tools the get_port3 always reported 0 back to me... with the latest version 21 it works. /RogerL -- Roger Larsson Skellefteċ Sweden
