ad-hoc mode link local only?

[Sebastien Estienne <sebastien estienne gmail com>]

hello,
today i noticed and verifyed in the code that , in adhoc mode we
didn't try dhcp before using link local adress, why is it like this?
i'm sharing my network access without access point, so in ad hoc mode,
and on of the computer has a dhcp server.

on a side note, networkmanagerindo doesn't report link quality (the
blue bar is empty) whereas the gnome applet works. i was using ubuntu
deb and it was reporting link quality. no i'm using a 2 days old cvs
with ipw2100 1.0.2.

i'll try to dig this problem and report success/fail
