Comment (by luisca):

 Found the source of the problem:

 When joining an ad-hoc network, the firmware receives from the driver the
 bss information, including its capability vector. For the join operation
 to be successful, the firmware checks for WLAN_CAPABILITY_IBSS.

 However, at libertas_cmd_80211_ad_hoc_join() (join.c) the line

 join_cmd->bss.capability = cpu_to_le16(bss->capability & CAPINFO_MASK);

 clears WLAN_CAPABILITY_IBSS. Removing the mask from the line above fixes
 the problem.
