Have you tried with a laptop to make sure it works in general ? I have no idea how Wii handles ad-hoc networks but if the hotspot is running correctly it will serve DHCP so manual setup should not be neccessary.

If you run "sudo /usr/sbin/mobilehotspot_backend start" via terminal there's a bunch of output, among that the network (it's 10.xx.yy.0/24 where xx and yy come from the wifi MAC address. N900 address [use as gw and dns server] is .1, use .110+ for manually configured devices)
