ad hoc is a peer to peer, infrastructure is point to multipoint.

infrastructure allows you to talk to your wireless router, ad-hoc to other pc's

Default detail
"ad-hoc" is a rather outdated mode, but is still sometimes used to refer to the new IBSS peer-to-peer mode. Basically, you use this mode if you did not buy an "access point" device, but instead have one computer with a wireless card AND a hardwire connection.

Infrastructure/managed is the mode you select if you purchased an "access point" device, such as a linksys wireless router, apple airport UFO, netblaster access point, etc.
