vent unauthorized access to your wireless network.
You need to choose a proper SSID and channel for the
first 802.11 Ad Hoc station. For other stations want to join
the same SSID group, you could only choose the same
SSID as the first station, but the channel does not take
effect. The 802.11 Ad Hoc must enter the proper SSID.
