I got the same behaviour at first. Ad-hoc networking would not work if i used "Create New Wireless Network". The solution was to create wireless profiles and install iptables: - Ad-hoc profiles with manually configured ip addresses did always work. Use "Connect to Hidden Network" to find the preset. - Ad-hoc with the "Shared to other Computers" method worked after I installed iptables (and dnsmasq). Since then, "Create New Wireless Network" also works. I guess that "Shared to other Computers" is the default for Ad-hoc networks. In that case, iptables and dnsmasq should be part of the standard distribution.
