Does the "iwi" driver (Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG) support "hostap"?

Neither have I.  ("ifconfig iwi0" tells me that
the card is running 
in IBSS mode, but no other clients seem to see it.)

It would nice if someone could figure out how to get this
working.

(In the meantime, I've placed an order for a different mini
PCI card 
- the Xterasys XG600 - which uses the Prism chipset, and so
should (I 
hope) wotk with "hostap".)
