Some updates: - I am using kernel version 2.6.34 from openSUSE 11.3 RC2. - Per the advice of a user on IRC I tried compat-wireless (from 07/08/2010) and the problem still persists. - My firmware is 478.104 (as recommended on the Wiki) - This problem persists with or without WEP enabled on the phone. - Scanning networks before connecting DOES reveal other networks. - iw event -t shows: 1278739983.002762: wlan0 (phy #0): scan started 1278739984.284008: wlan0 (phy #0): scan finished: 2412 2417 2422 2427 2432 2437 2442 2447 2452 2457 2462 2467 2472 2484, "" - I have no access to another Ad-hoc device/software. Any help on this is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
