>Description:
	`wiconfig wi0' and `ifconfig wi0' disagree about whether the wi0
	interface is in ad-hoc mode or not.  I have a Lucent WaveLAN Silver
	that sucessfully connects to the CMU Wireless Andrew network.
	In the output below, note that wiconfig reports the port type is
	1=BSS while ifconfig reports that the interface media is adhoc.
