Mode allows your Pocket PC to form its own local network where devices communicate peer-
to-peer, using a shared SSID, without Access Points. Under 802.11 Ad Hoc mode, the SSID
must be the same among stations so that the devices can communicate properly within the
Wireless Network. If you want to form your network without any Access Points, you should
choose 802.11 Ad Hoc mode.
