(wifi) broadcom-wl or network-manager trouble not sure

Question

I configurated my broadcom bcm4313 (4727) with broadcom-wl (driver recommanded for my needs by broadcom devellopers), up and running in network-manager (seen there to connect with ...) ... (Checked it with CalimeroTeknik today)
When I connect to my wifi relay (an adhoc by wifi), it try to connect and fail ... (I couldn't use wicd for my needs, as I use multiples connections and AP to make an adhoc that is not possible with wicd and need a gui tools as my gf uses it sometimes or may lend it to make peoples try Archlinux for example ...
Any ideas of what could be the trouble ?

Does it mean that the manual configuration worked ?
Edit : seem to have made another wifi adhoc of the same name and key, how I change this line : # iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc ???
Yes, your manual configuration worked just fine.
The IP address Gusar refers to, you still have to acquire from the router  - which is at the end of step 4 of the wiki. If it does not work like described in the wiki (#dhcpcd eth0), you have to start the dhcpcd daemon first by
sudo /etc/rc.d/dhcpcd restart
Question 2: You only have to change the interface in the iwconfig line, since your wireless seems to be on eth0:
iwconfig eth0 mode ad-hoc
However, you really dont need to do that since you already connected to the wireless "sharenet" according to your output.
So, just redo the steps and go the steps4 to the end to get an IP. If you see that working, you can ping any internet site to see if it works (or start any browser), as /dev/zero says. (if that works , your wicd should actually also work after network restart).
If it does not work, come back to us with the error you see plus the output of
ip addr
ip route
