Lucent have shipped newer firmware this March which DOES support creating IBSS. The verision 6.04 of the firmware creates IBSS by setting wicontrol -c 1 with -p 1 (BSS mode), and joins to IBSS if no access points found. It seems that the name of created IBSS follows "network name" specified by -n option, not "SSID" by -q option.
