Just a follow up to my original problem. This may be more
appropriate for
the developer list.
The driver I ported from the 2.4 kernel to the 2.6 kernel
was missing calls
to netif_carrier_on(). I added the call along side setting
the macmode to
WLAN_MACMODE_IBSS_STA.
netif_carrier_on(wlandev->netdev); // Sets
IFF_RUNNING (visible in
ifconfig)
wlandev->macmode = WLAN_MACMODE_IBSS_STA;
Thanks for the replys!

Ah yes, I would imagine that does mean something. I've just
been playing
around with my ethernet card, which isn't plugged in, and I
did and ifup
eth0 and noticed that I got
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:76:3A:A1:78
inet addr:10.255.253.1 Bcast:10.255.253.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:169 Base address:0xe00
which is very similar to what you got. Given that mine
wasn't connected
to anything, maybe your problem is just that it's not
associating to the
other PC's wireless card correctly?
