Wi-Fi Settings Crash on Peer to Peer Network

[Hardcase]

I've set up my laptop as a wireless peer to peer network. My Bionic sees the network. But, when I try to connect it crashes the wi-fi settings app, every time. I've restarted the phone and computer to no avail. I'm stuck without good wi-fi anywhere and without data connection and this is my best shot to getting data to my phone. I've tried clicking directly, long clicking to bring up the context menu and selection either option ("connect to netork" or "proxy settings"), but it still crashes. Any suggestions?
