Yup, this fixes it. Thanks for the quick fix.
However, ad-hoc still does not work, since the network device's
carrier status does not seem to be properly set. (It remains
in NO-CARRIER even after "wlan0: Selected IBSS BSSID
92:68:a2:db:de:45 based on configured SSID". I dirtily hacked
around that with the following two-liner:

However, I have NO CLUE WHAT I'M DOING THERE! Make a proper fix!
(Especially, I think it needs more netif_carrier_off calls in
different places.)
Anyway, thanks for my now-working wireless,
