I got this to work with Win NT SP6a.  The NetBSD side looks like this:

NIC serial number:                      [ 01UT38410095 ]
Station name:                           [ NetBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node ]
SSID for IBSS creation:                 [ NetBSD IBSS ]
Current netname (SSID):                 [ myNet ]
Desired netname (SSID):                 [ myNet ]
Current BSSID:                          [ 02:bc:2c:87:b4:13 ]
Channel list:                           [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ]
IBSS channel:                           [ 10 ]
Current channel:                        [ 11 ]
Comms quality/signal/noise:             [ 0 27 27 ]
Promiscuous mode:                       [ Off ]
Port type (1=BSS, 3=ad-hoc):            [ 1 ]
MAC address:                            [ 00:02:2d:3f:3d:90 ]
TX rate (selection):                    [ 3 ]
TX rate (actual speed):                 [ 2 ]
Beacon Interval (current) [msec]:       [ 100 ]
Maximum data length:                    [ 2304 ]
RTS/CTS handshake threshold:            [ 2347 ]
Create IBSS:                            [ Off ]
Microwave oven robustness:              [ 0 ]
Roaming mode(1:firm,3:disable):         [ ]
Access point density:                   [ 1 ]
Power Mgmt (1=on, 0=off):               [ 0 ]
Max sleep time (msec):                  [ 100 ]
WEP encryption:                         [ On ]
Authentication type 
(1=OpenSys, 2=Shared Key):              [ ]
TX encryption key:                      [ 1 ]
Encryption keys:                        [ *********** ][  ][  ][  ]

The WinNT side is set to Peer to Peer Group.
