I noticed that I have to do ifdown wlan0 before I can change the mode

When I do it while the interface is up I get a error that the device is

It is busy.
ok
It seems to happen with ad-hoc, master and back from them to managed.
Is this a bug in the iwlwifi driver or in mac80211 ?
Neither, it is expected behaviour.
ok thx for this info.
Blame it on Jean that wireless
extensions are ill-defined and don't mandate this.
Because of this NM can't create ad-hoc networks because it does it while
the device is up.
Any ideas?
Fix NM?
Dan, something for you ;)
does NM knows if the driver is a mac80211 one?
