CVS-12-20-04 + ipw2200-0.19 + ipw2000-fw-2.2
My home AP is immediately discovered

setting bitrate 11000 KHz for device eth1.  errno = 95

With the CVS-12-15-04 version the entire dhcp transaction was about 36 
lines. The 'error setting bitrate' is new. This may be a ipw2200-0.19 
issue.

The wireless interface was properly configured but the panel icon is a 
computer and hovering reveals the message "Connected to an Ad-Hoc 
Wireless Network." But

iwconfig eth1
eth1      IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:"mosswap"
         Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437GHz  Access Point: 00:01:24:F0:40:5A

         Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
         Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:1

Also, when I click on the panel applet I new see

Other Wireless Networks ...
Create New Wireless Network ...

When I select either of these, I see the same dialog box so what is the 
distinction?
