wireless network configuration, as well as an integrated

Network Topologies
Ad Hoc Wireless LAN
An ad hoc wireless LAN
consists of a group of
computers, each equipped
with one wireless adapter,
connected via radio signals
as an independent wireless
LAN. Computers in a specific
ad hoc wireless LAN must
therefore be configured to
the same radio channel. An
ad hoc wireless LAN can be
used in a SOHO or temporary environment.
