Ad Hoc - This is the 802.11b peer-to-peer mode of operation. All

of an Access Point. 802.11 Ad Hoc networking uses the

same SSID for establishing the wireless connection.

802.11b Access Point. All communication is done via the

Access Point, which relays packets to other wireless Clients

in the BSS as well as to modes on a wired network such as

Ethernet.
