It seems strange to me, on the other PC I'm using the ath5k driver with a PCI 
wireless NIC and the interface enters in ad-hoc mode without complaining 
(CRDA is not installed).

I'll try to install also CRDA to see if something changes, maybe there is a 
difference between the ath5k and p54 drivers.

Thanks,
Fabio
