Ad-hoc mode support

Ad-hoc mode support

[Antonio R. Costa]

Hi guys,
  I need some suggestions about choosing an USB dongle whose driver
supports ad-hoc mode under Linux.

Thanks in advance,
ANtonio R.

Try an rt73usb-driven device like the Hawking HWUG1A or any of the other

these below are actually zd1211b or rt73 (besides the Hawking which I
have right next to me) but here's a list with cdw.com part #s from a
while ago.
