Most android does not support ad-hoc wifi(n9 user ad-hoc wifi hotspot)
You need to enable it on your android(I think you should root your android devices to do so)

Hahhaa,how can a phone go blind? :p
I scanned a few times,still nothing :)

you have to hack wpa_applicant.conf file. for this your phone should be rooted. how to root and how to hack this you can easily find on net just with a google search.

?? I'm pretty sure you have to replace the wpa_supplicant binary file with one that is compiled with the changes to allow it to handle adhoc wifi. I did this on my ICS tablet, works fine. Just make sure whichever file you replace is for a similar build of android and disable wifi while you swap it in and update the permissions.

Thanks all! :) Working Great! ;)

Is there any way to change the ad-hoc wifi-hotspot to any other in N9.

Re: Nokia N9 wifi hotspot
 

Its the kernel; you would need to modify the kernel to allow for infrastructure hotspot instead of ad-hoc which is not an easily surmountable task from what I read previously...
