Can WiFi Shield go into adhoc (infrastructure) mode?

Kikolobo:
Let me see if i can explain my self better..

I want my arduino device to behave like an access point.. So that my user in his computer will see it as a wifi access point for him to connect to.. So that this is easier to configure the device with a web browser...

The problem is that my device will not have a screen or keyboard.. So how can the user configure the device to connect to a wifi network that is protected with password? The only way or easiest way is for my arduino device to behave like an access point "ad-hoc" so that the first time the user configures the password for his home or office access point... Next boot the arduino device will attempt to connect to the configured access point....

Do you know when will the new WIFI shield be released or if theres one coming?

I have the exact same problem to tackle. Have you made any progress?
