About Adhoic and "G" speed = no.

by r. proffitt Forum moderator Nov 20, 2004 11:08PM PST

A funny thing happened on the way to "G" standards. Someone forgot to make a standard for Adhoc mode at G speeds.

The STANDARD from the last time I read it doesn't allow 54megabit speed for adhoc. I'll let you research this.
