If by chance you are doing ad-hoc to an Aironet card I feel your pain. I have to go into promiscious mode to get the Atheros card to talk to my Aironet ad-hoc network. Even then it drops lots of packets. I'm not doing multicast. I haven't done any debugging. My Aironet cards work just fine it the same ad-hoc network. This is with a relatively recent -current. A week old or so. Doug A.
