bcm43xx: Ad-Hoc (IBSS) works fine

bcm43xx: Ad-Hoc (IBSS) works fine

[Michael Buesch]

I just want to mention that Ad-Hoc works fine
with the bcm43xx-d80211 driver in my tree.
I didn't have to do any code changes, but simply try it once. ;)

So, well. As the question has been asked several times
if adhoc is supported, here is the answer: Yes it is.

Where might I find a decent, plain english, description of these 
various 'modes', Micheal?  I have relatively little experience in 802-11 
stuff and could use a tutorial explaining the lingo.
