That strategy won't work. Try this

 - In the XO-1, you wil need a newer build -- download and install
10.1.2 (see http://wiki.laptop.org/ )

 - For consistency, install 10.1.2 on the XO-1.5 (note: it's a
different image do download!)

 - With both laptops running 10.1.2...

 - Start with the XO-1.5, use the "create a new network" option from the frame.

 - On the XO-1, in the neighbourhood view, you should see a new
network with the name of the other XO. Select it...

 - Now you're both in a shared ad-hoc network.
