Actually, the "ad-hoc" mode of WaveLAN firmware is not the same referred
as "ad-hoc" or "IBSS" mode in the 802.11 spec.  IBSS in the spec announces
beacon and uses a bssid in the header to allow overlapping multiple
segments onto one channel.

"WaveLAN ad-hoc mode" uses zero'ed bssid only and there are no beacons
nor state transitions at all.  This is the reason WaveLAN cannot
interoperate with other 802.11 products in ad-hoc mode.

Based on these, using "adhoc" mediaopt for wi (WaveLAN) driver is
a little confusing.  How about "wladhoc" or something like that?

FYI, I'm rewriting awi driver and I can interconnect WaveLAN ad-hoc
mode with awi DS cards.
