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?

Are you using WEP? Are you creating an ad-hoc network or using an
existing infrastructure network? How are you configuring the wireless
settings for the boards?

They won't self-assign an address automatically, and there are a few
NetworkManager bits necessary for automatic ad-hoc connections at
startup which is probably what people are looking for here.
