See this -- Mobile broadband sharing over adhoc wireless
- Adhoc mode :
In this mode , you need to set up your network always. For support of your card and mode details please refer.

In 12.04, I think there is button to create wireless network in one go. But you will need DHCP server. Try with static IP.
- Setup A wifi access point:
This is one time setup, but complex.
For running your laptop as an access point, this is only possible if your wireless adapter supports going into the master mode
. If it does not support this, you're totally out of luck.

and configure access point
