I had quite some trouble connecting a Cisco Aironet 350 with the iBook Apple Airport in ad-hoc mode. (Maybe I should have read a HowTo first). The solution finally was to set the Cisco card in "ad-hoc" mode and (under Linux) the iBook card in "managed" mode. communication was possible only in that configuration. but again, that might be obvious for others :) bye Philipp Kaeser
