Thanks!  Could you explain what the "-ibss_admin" switch means?  How would this be undone if you needed to?

If your airport interface is not "en1", would you need to discover the correct value and substitute it in the command?  Isn't airport en2 on Mac Pros and en0 on MacBook Airs?

Such as:
airport_interface=`system_profiler SPNetworkDataType| grep -A 1 "Hardware: AirPort"` airport_interface=${airport_interface: -3}

expect -c 'spawn /usr/libexec/airportd $airport_interface -ibss_admin 1; expect eof'


Thanks again for the great info!

For Airport? From Terminal,  sudo /usr/libexec/airportd en1 -ibss_admin 1

or for remote deployment:

expect -c 'spawn /usr/libexec/airportd en1 -ibss_admin 1; expect eof'
