It works fine for me with static IPs and routing / masquerading on a Linux laptop and N800/OS2008. Useful in wired hotels for being able to carry BBC Radio 3 via the internet/N8x0 around the room / suite. In my experience, ad-hoc eats a lot of power, and I feel that IP over bluetooth is somewhat less power hungry (and actually easier to automate), so that's now my favoured solution to the "N8x0 in a wired hotel room" conundrum. -jh
