I understand. Thanks for your testing. There indeed appears to be more
problems with ad-hoc and iwl3945, but they are unrelated to the patch
that you tested.

This needs to be checked. We do have some bug reports about ad-hoc mode
in iwl3945 (see http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1472).
In this case it was specific to ad-hoc mode in b mode. We will look more
into ad-hoc mode with iwl3945.
