[MLB-WIRELESS] Access Points (BSS) vs Ad-Hoc (IBSS)

[Drew]

As I see it, IBSS for the node to node links, with optional BSS for the 
extremely short range client access (ie. laptops w/ no external antenna, 
in the default BSS mode) but you could also use IBSS for this. (more 
info @ http://seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/PointToPoint )

as for USB devices, ftp://ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng/ supports 
them under linux, and they should work fine via windows. imho, these 
would be a great way to get IBSS on the rooftop.
