Ad-hoc Mode
This is the simplest network configuration with several computers equipped with
the PC Cards that form a wireless network whenever they are within range of
one another. In ad-hoc mode, each client is peer-to-peer, would only have
access to the resources of the other client and does not require an access point.
This is the easiest and least expensive way for the SOHO to set up a wireless
network.
