Is this a limitation of the driver, of does the _card_ not support
setting this stuff except in monitor mode?  The only reason we set
bitrate is because some cards (atheros G for example) don't set any
bitrate themselves when in ad-hoc mode, resulting in exceedingly poor
communication between the nodes.  Manually setting the card to a bitrate
kicks the card into a marginally working state.  If the ipw2x00 driver
doesn't support this, its not really a problem, and NM will now silently
fail (patched in CVS on 2004-12-22).

If latest CVS still doesn't connect for you, can you post a bit more log
output so we can diagnose?
