You're welcome.

So we now know that the driver is putting the card into the older Ad-Hoc
Demo Mode (AHDM), not IBSS. IIRC, it should also work with an
Airport-equipped Mac in "computer-to-computer" mode.

Hmm... should also work nicely with a Net/FreeBSD system. (The BSD driver
still uses the older mode.) I haven't figured out yet how to put the Linux
driver in that mode.

Success! (sort of)

After hacking my Win2K registry to force my Lucent Silver card into Ad Hoc
mode (thank you John R.), I have established an 802.11 connection between my
MP2100 and NCU 1.0 under MacOS 7.5.3 under Basilisk II 0.8(142) under
Windows 2000 on a Dell Latitude C600. <breath> Unfortunately, when I kick
off a backup, it hangs while backing up system information.

I use this configuration to do quick backups over the wire, so the system
software is OK. Will try to isolate the problem this weekend when I have
more time to tinker.
