Hi,
We're working on a better supported Linux kernel for Overo at the moment. Recently, some changes were made to u-boot for Overo which fix some of the power-off and watchdog issues. The kernel is a little harder to keep pace with...
Unfortunately, ad-hoc mode for wireless is not supported by the open-source libertas drivers and requires direct support from wi2wi.
In case it is useful, I've attached my steps/notes about how to make a custom hardware pack right from linux and u-boot source as well as a custom live-build (thanks to Tom Gall's help) rootfs. These were made as my own notes so in some places I've been rather brief and in other places, a little verbose (debian packaging confuses me some days). Idefinitely welcome comment/questions/suggestions though.

To argue, I'm with Steffen Hemer,
I'm working for a practical project, I'm trying to include MADC module and trying to compile a kernel for lot while now, without success, to be more serious, my boss is counting on me. Is it worthwhile trying this at all...?
Every time i follow instructions at https://wiki.linaro.org/Resources/HowTo/KernelDeploy , I end up with a non-working image, or kernel that panics, doesn't boot finally. I have all the problems that Stefen Hemer says, though haven't tried 12.06. I have only tried upto 12.03 since 11.07 and also an old and stable 11.05 Ubuntu Desktop, which I downloaded long back. 11.05 is an image that i'm using since long for all activities now. I was pretty impressed with it, inspite of it being a little slow.
Please advice which version should I use with LinaroMediaCreate and which version of kernel should I compile. I need these features: Stable Bluetooth, Wi-Fi with fully working Ad-Hoc mode, MADC, GPIO controls (which I never had problems), And also later dreaming to include advanced power management features and XIP kernel. I can share more detailed info if anybody out there says it's solvable..
Counting....
