I'm not running mine in any mode other than AP, couldn't you just put 
one on a subnet too small for more than two hosts?  I'm thinking
some_private_range/31 CIDR mask.

Getting the same ad-hoc mode on multiple hosts isn't something 
I've figured out yet.

I've played around some with WEP but haven't gotten it to work either.
I wonder about AES and is it TKIP?  There are two other security
options.  All in all external encryption is probably a better 
choice.
