I have searched and I can't find the info I am looking for. I'm looking for basic information about how ad-hoc networks work; how devices discover each other (driver level?), how they communicate with each other, what the standards (is ad-hoc part of 802.11b?) are, and what protocols are used. I'm also curious as to how applications can be written to take advantage of ad-hoc networking.
I know two (or more) laptops can talk to each other via ad-hoc, is that part of the wifi standard? Is there any difference in say a wireless iPaq and a wireless Laptop in terms of ad-hoc functionality? Any info or useful URLs would be great, thanks ... [I have searched google and read what I can but I still am unable to answer some of the base questions I have listed above].
