I have set up a small wireless network at home by following
instructions I found on the net to set up my server (which is using an
Orinoco card) to run in IBSS (Ad-Hoc) mode, and running the other
machines on the network in managed mode. This includes a TiBook with
an airport card, which I've used successfully under both Linux and
MacOS 9/X. When I first tried to set up the network, I thought all the
machines had to be in ad-hoc mode, but that didn't seem to work. Once
I started using a single machine in ad-hoc mode to establish the
network, and then connected the other machines normally, everything
worked fine.
