I have tried ad-hoc mode in 2.6.31-rc1
(52989765629e7d182b4f146050ebba0abf2cb0b7) and did not have issues. I
tested ad-hoc between 3945 (iwl3945) and 5100 (iwlagn), testing that
both are able to create the IBSS network and both are able to join
another IBSS network.

Do you get any errors? Is it just the dhcp that fails (does association
succeed?) mac80211 does have extra debugging for ad-hoc that can be
enabled with CONFIG_MAC80211_IBSS_DEBUG=y. Could you please try that?

Is there a bug report for this?
