Yes, but the simplest solution for me is to just use "Create New 
Wireless Network" in NetworkManager, use WEP64, and everything works.

Looking in NetworkManager it tells me that it is an "Adhoc" network.

I received an answer that WPA(2) mode in Adhoc mode is not in the 
specification.

AP mode may work, I'm just too lazy. :)

Thank you all for your answers,
