mode Set the operating mode of the device, which depends on the
network topology. The mode can be Ad-Hoc (network com‐
posed of only one cell and without Access Point),
Managed (node connects to a network composed of many Access
Points, with roaming), Master (the node is the
synchronisation master or acts as an Access Point), Repeater (the
node forwards packets between other wireless nodes),
Secondary (the node acts as a backup master/repeater), Monitor
(the node is not associated with any cell and passively
monitor all packets on the frequency) or Auto.
Example :
iwconfig eth0 mode Managed
iwconfig eth0 mode Ad-Hoc
</quote from iwconfig man page>
Try "Ad-Hoc" i.s.o ad-hoc
