how to send frames in ad-hoc mode?

[Leonardo Maccari]

I'm trying to make WPA work in ad-hoc mode, hacking the code, but I'm
going reeeally slow.. and need some help.


does this work in ad-hoc mode?

	if (wpa_driver_wext_set_bssid(drv->wext, params->bssid) < 0)
		ret = -1;

if I understood well,  the hostap_send_eapol function of hostapd (which
works in master mode) formats the whole packet, with headers, then passes
it to the card. wpa_eapol_send in wpa_supplicant otherwise, just formats
a normal ethernet frame, then passes it to the socket, which means that
the firmware iself adds 802.11 headers, according to configurations done.
but if I put the card in ad-hoc (pseudo_ibss) mode the
wpa_driver_wext_set_bssid() function doesn't seem to work, and the packet
is sent withouth bssid. which function should I use to set it?

ciao,
leonardo.
