Tomasz,

>did you use the iwconfig to set the ad-hoc mode explicitly?


Sure did, "iwconfig eth1 mode ad-hoc" remembering that this is peer-to-peer.
Joining the community network (on the other hand) would mean a change to
"iwconfig eth1 mode managed" as you'd expect. The community network is
working fine from both laptops. 

Cheers.

AG.
