Hello,
I tried for quite some time without success on RPi4, using nmcli/nmtui on Bookworm.
Other modes seemed to work, but not so the ad-hoc mode. Failure time after time.
I decided there were several options.
Dump NetworkManager and try :
1. systemdnetworkd,
2. dhcpd/dnsmasq etc. (old school pre-bookworm and Network Manager),
3. mesh software ( I believe this often uses 'Batman-adv'),
4. settle for a com[promise with a bridge, which I haven't tried.
Good luck.
