802.11b interface cards implement all of the 802.11b low-level configurations in firm-
ware. In fact, the 802.11b default configuration is often sufficient for a device to join an
access point automatically, which it can do once enabled. Commands issued to the chip set
in the interface allow a host program to override the default configurations and execute
functions implemented on the interface cards, for example, scanning for hosts and access
points.
6.1.2 Ad-Hoc Mode
In the ad-hoc mode, each device can set a channel number and an SSID to communicate
with. If devices are operating on the same channel and SSID, they can talk with each
other, much like they would on a wired LAN such as an Ethernet. This works fine for a
few devices that are statically configured to talk to each other, and no access point is
needed.
6.1.3 Additional Information
