OK, yes - my old Dell with an Orinoco card will do ad-hoc in both Windows and Linux. The N810 shows an icon with a little blob over it to differentiate it from AP. My not-quite-so-old IBM Thinkpad with internal Atheros chip doesn't want to do ad-hoc in Linux (with the atheros driver). In Windows I just got confused as there are IBM and Microsoft managers fighting to control the card. The Orinoco manager on the Dell was easy. BT might work; I'd have to buy a BT adapter as neither laptop has it, plus at this point I don't have much experience with BT (beyond buying Logitech's nice Denovo keyboard+basestation and pressing a button to pair them...)
