of course i tested IBSS merge with atheros hardware when i sent in the patch
and it worked. this is about 6 month ago. recently i briefly tested IBSS,
with the same HW but it did not work any more - i didn't have the time to
investigate this issue...
please remember that there was a lengthy discussion about the standard
compliance and the reasons behind the need for IBSS merge before my patch was
accepted. i believe i had convincing arguments why IBSS mode does not
reliably work at all in practice if we don't support IBSS merge.
