You are correct about the options (last I checked). Notice the "flag0" in
your ifconfig line... From comments Warner has made nad other source, it
appears you are running one card in IEEE peer-peer mode and the other in
the "demo ad-hoc" mode, which are incompatible.

On your -stable machine, use:
wicontrol -p 1

On -current use:
/sbin/ifconfig wi0 media autoselect mediaopt adhoc ssid <xxxx>

You shouldnt need wicontrol on -current at all. I'm fairly certain this
was the setup that allowed my lucent cards to communicate. If that does
not work, check the output of "ifconfig -m wi0" on -current and see what
options give you adhoc without the "flag0"!

Good luck!
