Hi, I don't know, (I don't have any wifi that supports AP), but should
work easily with NetworkManager Applet 0.9.7.997 (nm-applet) when you
turn on wifi ,you may create a new wifi connection , after that you can
edit your new connection on "edit connections" -> wifi -> name of wifi
that you create -> edit 
you got mode here , which may change from Ad-hoc. 

Cheers,
