Package: linux-wlan-ng
Version: 0.2.5-2
Severity: important
Although the correct wlanctl-name_of_ssid file exists,
an ad-hoc network is never created correctly. The script
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/linux-wlan-ng-pre-up
has these lines disabled:
if [ -z "$IF_WIRELESS_MODE" ]; then
IF_WIRELESS_MODE="ad_hoc"
fi
Enabling them solves the problem.

Since I received no further answers and since 'the debian way' works I
close the bug.
