Yes. I initially had the same problem until I:
1) edited /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts so it contained
sensible values. I set IS_ADHOC to 'y'
2) added a description of my card to /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf
since my card was not listed.
3) rebooted. experience has shown that installing the
linux-wlan-ng drivers and applications requires a reboot
before everything works smoothly.
It works fine now. YMMV.
