Using ad-hoc didn't seem to do the trick, either:
$ sudo iwconfig eth1 | grep -o 'Mode:[^ ]*'
Mode:Managed
$ sudo iwconfig eth1 mode ad-hoc
$ sudo iwconfig eth1 | grep -o 'Mode:[^ ]*'
Mode:Managed
$ sudo iwconfig eth1 mode ad-hoc commit
$ sudo iwconfig eth1 | grep -o 'Mode:[^ ]*'
Mode:Managed
BTW, this is under Ubuntu 10.04 and here's the wifi info:
$ sudo lshw -class network
