Ad Hoc Wireless LAN (no Access Point or Bridge)
An ad hoc wireless LAN consists of a group of computers, each equipped with a 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. Figure 2‐1 shows an example of this configuration.
