Larry,

All I want is for my iPhone to connect to me notebook, and I use this
command ...

# iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc essid "123"

A little bit of good news is that I got adhoc to work 2 out of 100
tries (with wpa_supplicant on another sreen, and the above iwconfig
command). So, it's working "partially". Once it has an SSID, I could
change it and it'll still work.

So perhaps "CONFIG_R8712_AP=y" should be removed from the kernel if it
does nothing.

Thanks,
Jeff
