CC me then. :) Note that I only maintain the d80211 based adm8211 driver no=
w,=20
but that driver doesn't have adhoc support yet.

Probably not, but I never debugged adhoc mode enough.

Have you checked? I think the bssid should stop changing once another stati=
on=20
with the same ssid comes into range.

Nope.
