Expected, since you are not on the latest stable version.  os852 is
10.1.2, and these Mayan numerals for ad-hoc channels were added for
10.1.3, which is os860.

Without a nearby wireless router, 10.1.2 requires the use of "create new
wireless network".

See
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/10.1.2#Under_the_tree_is_not_automatic_when_mixing_laptop_models

Quoting:

"In the absence of a wireless access point, a group of mixed XO-1 and
XO-1.5 laptops will not automatically begin to collaborate over
wireless. A workaround is to create a new wireless network from one of
the laptops (frame key, right-click on wireless icon), and then join it
from the other laptops."

Fixed for 10.1.3.
