I don't know the answer, you might have to read the iwconfig manuals on the appropriate OSes.

I just wanted to say that you can also use SSH (VPN) or OpenVPN to provide encryption instead of e.g. WPA-PSK (WPA2). On Ubuntu, setting up OpenVPN is easy with dialog and copying the configs over is easy with tunneldigger.

BTW I remember something about NIT not supporting ad-hoc networking very well. Not sure...
