[Olsr-dev] convincing google to support ad-hoc mode

[Sven-Ola Tuecke]

Hi,

just as an annotation: most recent smartphones implement/offer "WiFi direct". For me, this reads like IBSS with an extra Protocol on top that realizes encrypting and interoperability. You may simply change your request: "provide un-encrypted Wifi direct please" for success...

Is this widely implemented? Like in RHEL, Ubuntu, Windows, Mac OS X, etc?

I think we should support this effort as much as possible, since it'll make mesh on Android work a lot easier. One concern in Google is whether the hardware universally supports ad-hoc mode, or whether Android would have to make special cases for the hardware that does not support ad-hoc mode.
