Ok, I think I've fixed it, I had excluded irq 3 and it works now without irq 3 excluded. I thought it would use irq 6.
For some reason the range problem with ap mode has gone, and it's as good as adhoc. However it isn't as good as I expected. What range should I expect with wl100s in a house with brick walls?
Is it possible to get signal strength, the bit rate being used etc?
