Eh?  I'm using a Hermes chipset right now in bss mode.  Or are you
talking about hostap that we support with prism?

: So we use
: IBSS, and on the orinoco clients it shows up in their client manager as
: peer-to-peer instead of access point.  Anyways, we set the cards to
: channels 1,6, and 11, but sooner or later it always defaults back to
: channel 10.  Any way to lock a orinoco in IBSS mode to a certain channel?

How are you doing it?  I have two hermes card with the following
command:

inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 0xffffff00 media DS1 mediaopt adhoc ssid \
 SsidMio channel 3 wepmode on wepkey SekRit

(well, except for the wepkey :-).

I have friends that are using mediaopt ibss-create instead.
