Subject: Problem with a Driver rt73 in ad-hoc mode betwwen a arm and a pc

Hello

My board is based on a at91rm9200. I try to connect a dongle wifi
DWL-G122 (rt73usb) driver in Ad-Hoc mode with a PC ( dongle linksys
rt73usb but the ubuntu version). I trie also this version on my board
and the cvs versions with the same problem

My kernel is a 2.6.23.1 with little modifications to support my board
which is very closed to the at91rm9200-EK.

In Managed mode, the dongle works perfectly and I ping a router without
any problem


In Ad-hoc mode, on the at91 board the cell is detected but I don't see
any transfer. In debug mode, it seems that beacon and cell are detected
but only after the driver triggers a new scan.


The following commands show you the status.

~ $ iwconfig wlan0
