[NetworkManager] unable to create AdHoc network?

Hi,

I'm trying to create an AdHoc network from my laptop so my phone can connect to it and use it as a source for an Internet connection. The laptop is a Lenovo T420:

03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (rev 34)
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205 AGN, REV=0xB0

I'm running kernel 3.4.5 on Arch testing and NetworkManager 0.9.4.0-6 with network-manager-applet 0.9.4.1-1 . This is what happens in dmesg when I try to create an AdHoc network without any encryption:

Has anyone had any luck with this?

Cheers,
