You don't need to use the 'commit' command. As the manual page says,
it's really only for debugging (and I'm not even sure it's been used for
that, lately). I get exactly the same result on my cards.

To set up wireless access, what you probably want to do is:

iwconfig eth1 mode ad-hoc
iwconfig eth1 essid "your network name here"
ifconfig eth1 <ip address> netmask <subnet mask> broadcast <broadcast address>

and then set up DHCP, IP forwarding, etc.
