2.3.2 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.
