Ad-Hoc Mode
The Ad-Hoc Group offers peer-to-peer (computer to computer) connections between
workstations, enabling 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
services (such as e-mail and the Internet) by using a TCP/IP software router on an Ethernet
equipped Macintosh PowerBook or Windows notebook computer.
Note: Using the Aria extreme card in Ad-Hoc mode, your target peer can be a 802.11b or
802.11g- compatible wireless station, but not an 802.11a wireless station, since 802.11a
devices are not compatible with 802.11b/g devices.
