Probably yes, but last time when I was tried - I have failed to make connected 4.7 wi card in ad-hoc mode: wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 5 slot 0 on pccard0 wi0: 802.11 address: 00:60:1d:f6:f6:6e wi0: using Lucent Technologies, WaveLAN/IEEE wi0: Lucent Firmware: Station 4.52.01 wi0: promiscuous mode enabled % ifconfig wi0 wi0: flags=3D8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.0.0.50 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 10.0.0.255 ether 00:60:1d:f6:f6:6e media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps <adhoc>) status: associated ssid "MYSID" 1:"" stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node" channel 2 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:64-bit With both, similar Orinoco WaveLan card and with iwi0 card.
