The problem I had when the new driver framework was committed involved the
"port type" option. For my lucent cards at least, the sense of the number
for wicontrol is not different between -stable and -current. The first
fix was to just go back to adhoc demo mode, which was still port type 3 on
both machines. When I made the switch to ifconfig options, after a few
emails, some experiments, and reading some headers, it became apparent
that port type of 0 was now IBSS on my lucent card, vs 1 in -stable. Now
that I have everything back in sync they are happily beaming bits back and
forth.
