It is a little unclear to me what you are trying to accoumplish. Do you
need a single node that runs as AP and in ad hoc mode at the same time?
This is not very realistic if we assume a node with a single
transmitter. Or do you need to switch between these two modes dynamically?

For an example how to create an AP you should take a look on the
wired-cum-wireless example.
