Yes, it is Ad-Hoc. I don't have a real base station and am instead using
Software Basestation running on a G4. It was not clear to me how to
configure for managed with Software Basestation. Or I should say, my
attempts to configure that way didn't lead to a functional connection. On
the other hand, Ad-Hoc seems to work fine, so that is what I am using for
the time being. You can read that as me being thus far too lazy to pursue
the issue.

This was the last step. After all of the other configuration, an attempt
to establish a connection resulted in failure with a log message referring
to eth1 interface. I don't recall the exact message, but the implication
was that the ifcfg-eth1 file was expected to be present.
