adhoc mode still broken

I tried again with the latest cvsup today and my inhouse WLAN ist
still defunct because adhoc mode seems to be broken.

My gateway machine has a PCI to PCMCIA Adapter in it which holds a
WLAN card (ELSA Airlancer M11). I run the network as a peer to peer.
Would it be possible to run the gateway as an access point?
I've read that this works only with a certain brand of cards (prism chip).

When I watch the packets coming in on the gateway via wi0 I see this:

www# tcpdump -i wi0

Help! I want my WLAN back again. :-(
