Heh, you've got a pretty good memory. Indeed, I have trouble with AR5007
in ad-hoc mode, which I had yet no time to debug. I see the other nodes
sending packets, but my own packets are never sent over the air, even
though the node is associated to the same IBSS cell.

I think it is not related to the HAL in general, but to AR5007 support
only - the 0.10.5.6 branch works more or less fine on AR5212 devices
(except for some stuck beacons).

just my 2ยข...

Georg
