ad-hoc with USB WLAN card

[gonen]

hi all,

i have a laptop and i'm using it in two different LAN's.
both LAN's are wired.

i considered the option of buying a USB WLAN card,
and setup an Ad-Hoc network between the PC and my laptop
and using ICS for internet sharing.

will ICS in Ad-Hoc configuration work good/at all ?

thanks for helping,

Gonen.

Yes, this is a workable configuration - see:

Thanks Doug,

i already had this link in my bookmarks, i just wanted to be sure before
buying the usb device.

i guess i will buy the usb card, aand try that configuration since it's
about 40% of the wireless router price.

thanks again,
Gonen.
