Ad-Hoc with Windows?

Hi,
I am trying to get my DWL-650 (in a FreeBSD machine) to talk to a Lucent
Silver card (in a Windows 95 box). I can get it to work, but only for
short periods of time. I have to keep resetting the connection type to
ad-hoc. Eg..
[chowder 17:31] /usr/src/crypto/openssh >sudo wicontrol -p 3 ; ping
10.0.2.2
PING 10.0.2.2 (10.0.2.2): 56 data bytes

^C
--- 10.0.2.2 ping statistics ---
11 packets transmitted, 8 packets received, 27% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 2.371/2.521/2.708/0.116 ms

ie it just stops working after 8 seconds. If I rerun 'wicontrol -p 3' it
works again.

This is FreeBSD 4.5 as of 2 days ago, and the latest Lucent drivers as
of about 4 months. (Latest Lucent f/ware too)

Any s3kr1t config options I should twiddle? :)

I also have another Lucent card and if I try that in the fbsd box I get
no communication between them at all :(

If I reboot the windows machine into FreeBSD the two lucents work fine
(no repeated wicontrol -p 3 necessary).

If I use the DWL-650 card against the lucent with both machines in
FreeBSD it works fine also.
