[KK] 
Perhaps the problem concerning the "ath0: bogus xmit rate 0x0" still
persists. In addition I mentioned a strange problem concerning two
different models of 802.11a/b/g cards (3com 3CRPAG175 and Netgear
WAG511). In adhoc mode even the BSSID is correctly updated, no data
packet is transmitted. I think that the problem is observed in
particular when the wireless card supports 802.11a (and b/g of course).
With cards supporting only 802.11b/g I did not remarked this behavior.
By the way a wiconfig for the 3CRPAG175 card in mode 802.11b shows only
channel 14 and 15 as available for communication ;).

Any hints?
