Doesn't seem to be the case... Here is mini datasheet for the H&D module used on the shield:
http://media.digikey.com/PDF/Data%20Sheets/H&D%20Wireless%20PDFs/HDG104_Product_Brief.pdfIn your specific case, why not the alternative of setting up a network on the computer's end, and connecting to it from the Wifi shield?
I am looking to do this for an end product. It seems easier if the user just hooks it up, turns up the computer see's a new network named as the device "My Thermostat" for say... and when you connect to the thermostat, any page you go to will point to a config page...
But since there's no ADHOC mode.... No go with this design.. Will look for another alternative.
