I recently tested adhoc mode 'cuz Greg said it didn't work and verified it
worked for me with all my cards: Prism, Lucent (6.something firmware), and
Atheros (5211, and 5212 in 11b talking to the Lucent and Prism cards).
I did not use dhclient. Everything was statically configured.

I'm stuck upgrading because my Windows 2K Lucent driver is too out of date
for any of the newer firmware revs. I believe I need at least rev 6.1 of
the Win2K driver to run any of the firmware update tools. How did you
upgrade your firmware? If anyone has the bits+pieces to rev firmware I'd
like it so I can test the wi driver w/ different firmware revs.
