Hello 3zl,

which driver/version do you use? Do you have the RT2870STA.dat
in /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA? Can you show me your settings? Maybe i
missed some important settings.

Another strange thing is, that the OGMs come in all the time. Also if i
can't connect to the node. The Originator Table looks fine all the day.
The last-seen value is between 0 and 2 seconds for every node.

All USB WiFi devices depend on firmware, which is loaded when you initialize the devices. Ad-hoc mode has been neglected far and wide by the industry. Since you have to load a proprietary binary blob, which is more likely broken in ad-hoc mode rather than not, I am afraid you are out of luck. I'd love to get a USB WiFi solution in my hands that actually works in a reliable and stable manner. Unfortunately I know of none.
