OK, yes - my old Dell with an Orinoco card will do ad-hoc in both Windows 
and Linux. The N810 shows an icon with a little blob over it to 
differentiate it from AP.

My not-quite-so-old IBM Thinkpad with internal Atheros chip doesn't want 
to do ad-hoc in Linux (with the atheros driver). In Windows I just got 
confused as there are IBM and Microsoft managers fighting to control the 
card. The Orinoco manager on the Dell was easy.

BT might work; I'd have to buy a BT adapter as neither laptop has it, 
plus at this point I don't have much experience with BT (beyond buying 
Logitech's nice Denovo keyboard+basestation and pressing a button to 
pair them...)
