I have never used the network-manager for this sort of thing. *AFAIK WPA requires hostap to be installed and configured.
I have also never used ad-hoc networking, I only use radios that can be run as an AP.
For network devices I use a Debian variant called Voyage Linux. *CLI only by default, not particularly novice friendly (you pretty much need to know how networking works for this to be useful), but the /etc/network/interface that they ship with has a ton of examples. *You can extract it from the tarball that you can download from their site. *
I would also be careful on their mailing list. *Your, uh, unique style of interaction will just get you banned. *RTFM is a lifestyle there.
You might also want to have a look at Arno's iptables firewall. *It does not take much configuration to get a NAT/Masquerade ruleset in place (only a handful of settings in a well documented conf file to change). *You still will need to sort out the wifi link*separate*from this though. *Depending on the hardware, what you want to do may or may not be possible. *

Switching to "WPA & WPA2 personal" nm disconnect all the time. The
padlock icon on the iPad isn't shown anymore. The situation is more
worse as when using WEP.
