4311rev02 and Ad-hoc

Hello everybody.

I use b43 on 2.6.35-27 kernel.
Hardware is 14e4:4311 (rev.02).
fwcutter is installed.

dmesg shows
b43-phy0: Broadcom 4311 WLAN found (core revision 13)
b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 410.2160 (2007-05-26 15:32:10)

iwlist shows wifi nets near.

But if i try to connect to ad-hoc network through NetworkManager -
strange thing happens. It behaves as if a connection is established,
e.g. iwconfig shows correct ESSID and some Cell number.

ifconfig shows RX packets:0 on wlan0. Pings are timed out.

Does ad-hoc ever work on b43 with my hardware?
