Command Line/Ad-Hoc Features

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I cannot find a way to initiate an ad-hoc network from the iphone.  The
iphone can join pre-existing ad-hoc networks, but can't seem to create one.

Usage example:  Two iphones next to each other, no pre-existing wireless
networks.  Initiating an ad-hoc network is necessary to establish network
connectivity between them.

I believe the "airport" command line utility has the capability to do this
in the "big" Apple80211 framework, but I am not that experienced with it.

This functionality would be useful both in a gui (such as the existing
stumbler app), and the command line.

On a separate note, all utilities provided by this code base would be very
useful from a command line app so that they can be controlled (and
scripted) from an ssh session.

Thanks for the awesome work so far!
