So what the heck is peer to peer mode and how does it
differ from adhoc IBSS mode? which is:
# wicontrol -p 1
# wicontrol -c 1
# wicontrol -n someessid
and then we have managed mode
managed
# wicontrol -p 1
# wicontrol -c 0
# wicontrol -n ornot ...
and then we have demo ad hoc mode, which was not IBSS mode ...
and does not interop with any other hw from other vendors.
demo ad hoc
# wicontrol -p 3
?!!!
