atheros adhoc mode

[David Cornejo]

This is from current built within the last week, I see the problem in both 
B & G mode and all other radios are B, haven't been able to try A yet.

I haven't tried the debug yet, I'll try that.

I did a search and I think I found the bug you mention, but couldn't find 
it was fixed.

thanks!
