OK, thanks - that works.

However, I have still been unsuccessful trying to get IBSS mode to 
work with the new (or old) "iwi" driver.  I ran:

         ifconfig iwi0 inet <my-address> ssid FOOBAR channel 5 
mediaopt adhoc up

and then "ifconfig iwi0" indicates
         media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect <adhoc>)
but no other clients are able to see it.

Has anyone gotten this to work?  (I can't use BSS mode, because I 
want to run it as a base station, and "hostap" doesn't work for it - 
being a non-Prism chipset.)
