Ad hoc Wireless LAN (no AP 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 be
configured to the same radio channel. An ad hoc wireless LAN can be
used for a small branch office or SOHO operation.
