I looked a little further and saw that nl80211 does support changing

creating new interfaces, not changing their type.
Should mac80211 drivers generally support changing interface type
(change_interface operation)?
I don't think that implementation of the WEXT interface is necessary. As to
using iw, the following sequence worked:
iw dev wlan14 interface add wlan15 type adhoc
iw dev set rename5 type managed
iw dev set rename5 type adhoc
Why it was called "rename5" when I asked for "wlan15" is not understood, but the
iw interface changes the mode for an existing interface when using rtl8192ce.
BTW, I added a new iface because I did not want to interrupt my internat connection.
