Ad-Hoc Mode
The Ad-Hoc Group offers peer-to-peer connections between workstations, allowing
communication between computers within range that have a Wireless LAN Card installed. A
wireless Ad-Hoc network can also access a wired LAN’s TCP/IP service (such as e-mail and
the Internet) by using a TCP/IP software router on an Ethernet equipped PowerBook or
notebook.
Note: Using the 802.11g card in Ad-Hoc mode, your target peer can be 802.11b or 802.11g
compatible wireless station. But you cannot connect to an 802.11a wireless station since
802.11a devices are not compatible with 802.11b/g devices.
