PICtail™ is the first station to broadcast when creating the network, see Figure 1-2. In
this case, join the laptop to the ad hoc network after the development board has gone
through the steps of setting up the ad hoc network. The security mode supported is
Open mode and WEP security. According to specifications, ad hoc network only sup-
ports 802.11b rates of 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps and 11 Mbps. Most Android devices
