I'd use hostap. Alternatively, I'd use ibss-create if you really want to run in 'adhoc' mode. Normal adhoc sucks between cards that aren't identical with identical firmware because the bugs are legion with earlier prism cards. The problem here is that there are two typs of 'adhoc'. There's the true ibss mode that ieee defines, and then there's a "demo adhoc" mode that is massively non-standard. The two don't mix. And setting the 'adhoc' mode rid in the card does strange things.
