Whilst attempting to connect to ad-hoc network, stuck at 'setting IP' stage (actually using fixed IP of 10.20.30.40/255.0.0.0 with no DNS)

Note 'managed' and BSSID is wrong - i.e. it has not connected to other wireless node.

I should also mention that this is Xubuntu Feisty. Thanks for the speedy replies, oh how I love the open source model....
