If the node has the "wireless-tools" package installed, the "iwlist wlan0 scan" command will give a handy, detailed channel scan.  I've found that nearby APs even on slightly adjacent channels can interfere with the IBSS-RSN adhoc encryption.

So, run the scan once to prep the radio (not all APs appear in the 1st scan, frequently) and then again to get the scan results, e.g.

iwlist wlan0 scan
sleep 5
iwlist wlan0 scan # store this output
