Based on what you've said (and it appears you've done a bit of
research on this :), and my limited experience with 802.11b stuff
which has ~ all been BSS mode (at conferences, at a friend's house),
I concur with your thoughts that we should change to BSS mode by
default.

(It is annoying to have to do "ifconfig wi0 -mediaopt adhoc" before I
run dhclient wi0 to snarf an IP address. I'm sure there's a way around
this in dhclient.conf, but it's not obvious ;)
