Heh, Dave how's it going?  If by chance you are doing ad-hoc to an 
Aironet card I feel your pain.  I have to go into promiscious mode
to get the Atheros card to talk to my Aironet ad-hoc network.  Even
then it drops lots of packets.  I'm not doing multicast.

I haven't done any debugging.  My Aironet cards work just fine it 
the same ad-hoc network.

This is with a relatively recent -current.  A week old or so.
