Thanks Tim i have it working nicely now.  Strangely, the linux box turned
into an AP and i don't understand why.  Under iwconfig, the system is using
managed mode and becomes unuseable if i turn on ad-hoc mode.  iwconfig also
reports it as an AP including mac address and Netstumbler running on the
win98 laptop also reports 1 AP.  using another laptop (total 2 laptops and 1
linux box) i can get them all to ping each other quite nicely.

I am glad it is working but really i would like to know what is happening if
anyone can tell me?

cheers

-Matt
