Subject:   orinoco card - default channel changed
Message-ID:  <200103051644.IAA26209@sirius.cs.pdx.edu>

Lucent has changed their "orinoco" cards default channel from 3 to 10, 
therefore if you have an ad hoc infrastructure that for some reason 
speaks channel 3, be advised that you need to use wicontrol to change 
the channel.  (-f 10).  Friday I verified with our Mr. Singh that his orinoco
card indeed works.

Does anyone understand how channels actually work in BSS land?
I've never owned an AP so I don't understand how they operate.
I presumed that if you weren't worried about layer 2 loops,
you could operate it in ad hoc mode, with a fixed channel, OR
in BSS mode, what actually occurs?
