Very Computer

        I have FreeBSD working fine with a Wavelan card in ad hoc demo mode.
This works fine with Windows 98 running a Wavelan card in ad hoc demo mode.
However, I can't seem to find a driver for Windows 2000 that will support
ad hoc demo mode.

        It seems that ad hoc demo mode is being replaced by IBSS mode, but
FreeBSD doesn't seem to support IBSS mode yet.

        Am I missing something ? How can use FreeBSD along with Windows
2000 in a 802.11b wireless network w/o an access point ?

Matt.
