This issue is reproducible even without NM, using wpasupplicant directly to create a adhoc network, and is definitely true on iwlwifi and rt2800pci; so it deserves to be looked at at the kernel level.

FWIW, I though I had seen it work properly on ath9k, I'll test again tomorrow to be certain.

In any case, I'm strongly considering blocking the creation of WPA/WPA2 personal networks in NM as a stop-gap measure to avoid people creating insecure ad-hoc networks until that's really fixed in the drivers.
