Adhoc is configured by the 'iw' utility in the mac80211.sh script.

Thanks Felix for clarifying my newbie doubts!!
Secondly, could someone point me out where in hostapd code is
distinguished between adhoc mode and ap mode?
Easy: AP mode uses it, Ad-Hoc mode doesn't.
So, where is the ad-hoc mode configured then? Is it done in the
proprietary driver (in my case ath9k) or it is done in the kernel?
Thanks again

Hello,
I have some doubts concerning to the hostapd package, working with
Attitude Adjustment openwrt version. So, I would appreciate if someone
might clarify them to me.
Firstly, I have noticed that apart from the hostapd package included
on package/hostapd directory, there is another small version of
hostapd located in the drivers of the linux kernel
(linux-3-3.8/drivers/net/wireless/hostap).
Just because the name is similar doesn't mean that it's connected to
hostapd :)
My question is, if I had to
change the main hostapd package, should I change the kernel version of
hostap too? Might there be any kind of incompatibility if I only
change the package and not the one in the kernel? I ask this, because
I'm not sure whether they make use of each other or not.
There's no connection between the two, so no compatibility issues.
Secondly, could someone point me out where in hostapd code is
distinguished between adhoc mode and ap mode?
Easy: AP mode uses it, Ad-Hoc mode doesn't.
