Thanks Paul for your reply. Actually, you are right, "Ad-hoc Network 
[channel number]" sounds good. Is "Ad-hoc" the correct way to write it? 
Found many different ways on the net.

I have attached new patches to the ticket 9845 including the famous maya 
numerals icons (thanks Fred for the hint). I quite like them :)

I could do rpms, too - if someone would want to test it (please mind the 
NM ones if you want to apply the patches by hand).
