WiFi and Innovate OT-2

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help.

I recently bought an Innovate OT-2, which is a WiFi device to communicate a cars OBD data to a wireless device.
I wont post links in case it's seen as advertising....although it'd be advertising a product that wont work with the Android ! lol

However....whilst my Hero can detect the signal using a WiFi analyser app. The phone itself doesnt appear to have the ability to communicate with the device.
Someone mentioned it needs Ad Hoc ?

The laptop detects and communicates immediately with the OT-2

Although I primarily bought it to use with my Android phone.....that isnt going so smoothly.

Any help ?

Thanks

Steve
