[MLB-WIRELESS] Run a PC as an access point?

[Ben Holko]

ah - now I get it. And this is ad-hoc mode right?

infrastrucutre mode is for talking to an access point?

so in my example I would have my laptops in infrastructure mode, and the
desktop in ad-hoc mode?

technically both laptops can't talk to the PC at the exact same
millisecond.....but
because it's so fast it of course appears they are talking to it at the same
time.

So you wouldn't have any problems with 10 computers talking at once let
alone
only 3.
