There's nothing weird about this IP address. It is part of the standard automatic IP range used on local links. This is defined in RFC 3330. > > 169.254.0.0/16 - This is the "link local" block. It is allocated > for communication between hosts on a single link. Hosts obtain these > addresses by auto-configuration, such as when a DHCP server may not be > found. > Since you are not likely to be running a DHCP server, and probably haven't set IP addresses for both sides of your ad-hoc network, a 169.254 ip address is used to facilitate the connection.
