No WEP. I am trying to make an ad hoc network if possible. An existing
network is available for a secondary test scenario as well.

My initial thought was that it would auto configure, so I made minimal
configuration changes. Aside from installing the driver and ensuring they
are on, I have not set anything specific. Is it is simply a matter of
setting them both on the same ssid and assigning valid IP addresses (the
former was a step I forgot to try).

They won't self-assign an address automatically, and there are a few

That is what I would like to get documentation on. Ideally, of course, IPv6
will just auto configure itself, or at least a IPv4 can self-assign from
169.254.x.x.

What other steps need to be taken for NetworkManager to be able to take
advantage of an ad hoc network?
