If possible adding the copy command would be VERY helpful.

to get the EDGE to connect to any ad-hoc network you only need the following 2 commands run in a terminal windows from root on the device (you will need an external USB keyboard though since the on-screen Kbd does not have a way to make it stay on screen):

iwconfig mlan0 mode ad-hoc
iwconfig mlan0 essid <your essid>

you can see what networks are available with:

iwlist mlan0 scanning

Let me know if I can help with anything else. Also if anyone can point me to a good on screen keyboard i can add that I can set to stay on the screen until I close it that would help!
