Tried, but didn't make any difference.
Now I can make adhoc work 100% if I first put the device in wpa2 infrastructure and associates it with an AP. Then kill the wpa_supplicant process, and start a new wpa_supplicant with adhoc config.
If I just start with the wpa_supplicant adhoc config, it'll never set the ssid.
So, something is not right in the r8712u module or may be the firmware?
Thanks, Jeff
