[2] has a link to 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad-hoc_networking#Network_configuration 
which comes close to what I was looking for.

In a private message I was referred to
  https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=home%20lan%20setup%20wireless
which has some promising links.

Have errands to run but much rain scheduled for tomorrow. Great for
