Luis,
I had it working under the 2.4 kernel with pre9 and also for a moment
with rc5 untill i made a kernel compile mistake because the stupid
cdrewriter would not work. (have to recompile a whole new kernel still)
I must say that the pulg and play never worked during boot so i put the
whole thing in rc.local.
modprobe prism54
iwconfig eth1 essid Dogo1 mode ad-hoc channel 11 enc s:whatever commit
With the modprobe the eth1 goes up by itself and iwconfig does the rest
because the /etc/syscnfig/net/ifup_eth1 script is not being read.

<pre wrap="">Some of you are reporting success / failure with Ad-hoc and/or Master.
Please provide the kernel you are using. I failed to report that I'm using
2.4. It seems that Master/Ad-Hoc works on 2.6.
1. Is there anyone using 2.6 which doesn not have Master/Ad-Hoc working?
2. Is there anyone using 2.4 with 2.4 with Master/Ad-Hoc working?
By working I mean you just:
modprobe prism54
ifconfig eth1 up
iwconfig eth1 mode Master
or
iwconfig eth1 mode Ad-Hoc
hvr had suggested we use prism54_mib_init() in the change mode ioctl, and
we stopped since it breaks master mode. We can just make prism54_mib_init
smarter to not set certain parameters if mode is Monitor.
