[Bug 263541] Re: iwl3945 cannot link in Ad-Hoc mode to 802.11b adapter

[Brad Bowman]

I installed the "Ubuntu 2.6.27-12.28~lp264541manjo1-generic" kernel from the above
link, but I installed it on a *Hardy* system.  I still was unable to get the ad-hoc network
working at all, using the same setup that worked in Gutsy (with the old wireless driver).

The error during ifup eth1

 SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
 Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
    SET failed on device eth1 ; Input/output error.

dmesg:

I don't think this is the best test of the patched kernel, I'm on Hardy and my ad-hoc
setup is a mess.  The failing iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode request may be due to the Hardy
versions of restricted drivers installed.  Sorry this isn't very enlightening
