++ * module parameter: hostap_for_ibss=1. Note that using this mode has side
++ * effects. Such as not supressing beacons/probe answers randomly when
++ * receiving other node beacons. It's recommended to lower the beacon interval
++ * then. When using an IBSS-VAP together with an HOSTAP-VAP, you may also need
++ * to re-trigger IBSS beacon generation after creating the HOSTAP-VAP by
