If the wifi interface is connected using an adhoc connection, then it
should show that in the applet just like it shows connections to a real
AP.

By default all users can create Ad-Hoc networks through the UI, but
using PolicyKit an admin is able to restrict this.

Plain wifi ad-hoc connections are autoconnected if the adhoc network
already exists in the scan results, but they are not automatically
created (ie, this  machine is the first one to join the adhoc network,
ie it doesn't exist yet in scan results).
