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.

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
