The advantages to BSS are you can use powersaving (doubles my laptop battery life) and I believe it is more efficient. I have a cheapo freebsd laptop doing ether <-> wireless routing in ad-hoc mode talking happily to a freebsd laptop and to my wife's windows laptop. When I get around to it, I'll be replacing this with a real base station.
