Re: Isn't this just ad hoc? i thought this too, but Hybrid is the likely target. and its a smart idea when you think about it, two laptops right next to eachother should be able to send data directly. would also improve multimedia over wireless.
my question is will devices also serve as transfer stations so any device that is on and has its wireless in this mode also acts as a simple range booster for others.

kudos:14 | said by Kearnstd:my question is will devices also serve as transfer stations so any device that is on and has its wireless in this mode also acts as a simple range booster for others. Are you referring to a setup like the following? System #1 wants to send data to system #3 (or an AP), and range/signal-wise the best way to reach that is through system #2.
If so, the security implications of such are humongous. I really hope that's not what they plan on doing.
