Adhoc guide in wiki

Am following adhoc guide in wiki

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad-hoc_networking

Only I am getting an error when trying to start service file

systemctl start network-wireless-adhoc\@.service 
Failed to issue method call: Unit name network-wireless-adhoc@.service is not valid.

Think I am missing something but not sure what

network-wirelss-adhoc@.service

[Unit]
Description=Network connectivity for %i
Wants=network.target
Before=network.target
BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device
After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/network-wireless-adhoc@%i
ExecStart=/usr/bin/iw %i set type ibss
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ip link set %i up
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ip addr add ${addr}/${mask} dev %i
ExecStart=/usr/bin/iw dev %i ibss join ${ssid} ${freq}
ExecStart=/usr/bin/wpa_supplicant -B -i %i -D nl80211,wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/adhoc.conf
ExecStop=/usr/bin/ip addr flush dev %i
ExecStop=/usr/bin/ip link set %i down

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Will say this the 'Talk' version but both give same error

Anyone got adhoc working with Arch?

systemctl start network-wireless-adhoc\@wpl3s0.service

Or whatever your interface name is.

Seems that I am missing a file

  Process: 859 ExecStart=/usr/bin/wpa_supplicant -B -i %i -D nl80211,wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant-adhoc.conf (code=exited, status=255)

/etc/wpa_supplicant-adhoc.conf
