>Description:
The ral(4) man page states a syntax of "mediaopt ibss", but the syntax actually supported by the driver in this case is "mediaopt adhoc".
>How-To-Repeat:
Use the "ibss" syntax with the ifconfig command.
>Fix:
At least one of the syntaxes should be changed, so that they are the same.

Can someone who knows more about 802.11 than I do clarify this?
net/if_media.h thinks that "ibss" and "adhoc" are different, but
net80211/ieee80211.c does not and nothing in net80211/ uses
IFM_IEEE80211_IBSS.
Should IFM_IEEE80211_IBSS be removed from if_media.h?
