Thanks to Sam, this should work in IBSS (adhoc) mode now.

This seems to be harmless and I will turn it off before commit.  The Linux 
driver doesn't have any name for that notification type either, so I have no 
idea what it is supposed to mean.  It might be related to WMA as I only get 
it with WMA enabled, but that's about it.  For now the message stays to 
identify other (possibly required) notification types that might be seen.

Will do that after this *LAST* iteration of testing.  Please test now - you 
have been warned.

One thing I just discovered is, that "sysctl dev.iwi.0.antenna=0" instead of 
the current default of 2 improves scanning performance a lot.  If you have 
trouble to find your AP (esp. 11a ones) please try setting it to 0 and let me 
know.  Linux now has 0 as default so this might be the save thing to do.
