First, it is important to understand a range of terms. The next section will explain the main terms used here:
Network type:
Select Ad-Hoc. This mode allows you to connect to other
wireless LAN client devices, e.g. USB sticks, PCI cards or
card bus.
Wireless mode when starting the ad-hoc network:
Select whether you want to start ad-hoc mode at 11 Mbps
or 54 Mbps. Of course, this depends on the transfer rate
supported by the other devices in the network. Next, select
the channel to be used for your ad-hoc network. This chan-
nel must also be set for other devices in the network.
