Addition info: Today I tested FreeBSD6.3 wi driver and inspected underlying wi code. I found out that FreeBSD6.3 has the same adhoc demo bug as 7.0 (inability to turn on ad-hoc demo mode), I added following code to /dev/wi/if_wi.c line 385:
ic->ic_caps |= IEEE80211_C_AHDEMO; This code line completely fixed issues with my Lucent Orinoco wireless card in FreeBSD6.3, now I'm able to do both tasks: enable ad-hoc mode and change radio channels. ifconfig wi0 media DS/11Mbps mode 11b mediaopt adhoc,flag0 <-- this command enables ad-hoc demo mode as it should ifconfig wi0 channel 13 <-- this command changes radio channel as it should This discovery implies two things: 1. Inability to enable ad-hoc demo mode in FreeBSD6.3 and FreeBSD7.0 and inability to change channels if FreeBSD are two separate (and probably unrelated) bugs. 2. Because in FreeBSD6.3 I can change channels, but in FreeBSD I can not, the bug lies somewhere in code, which was updated between FreeBSD6.3 and 7.0, moreover I discovered that I cannot change channel in standard adhoc mode as well as in adhoc demo mode, so this bug is general to adhoc mode.
