If an ad-hoc node does not actually find : a BSS it can create a new one on its own. I didn't check. I can check, however. : Additionally look at the low level parameters such as DIFS, PIFS, beacon : interval etc. There may be a mismatch between these on the different : manufacturers cards. Hmmm, They should all be the same? : Are both WiFi certified to be interoperable in ad-hoc mode? : : 802.11 is an advisory standard and there is a lot of difference in : implementations... That I don't know. I do know they both work with the Airport access point I have, but that's not ad-hoc mode.
