I think this is because:

root@russ-laptop:/home/russ# iwconfig ath0 mode ad-hoc
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument.

I need to do:
root@russ-laptop:/home/russ# wlanconfig ath0 destroy
root@russ-laptop:/home/russ# wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode adhoc ath0
