I think the most impressive use of ad-hoc networking I've seen is the Apple migration tool used to configure a new macOS install. If you install it on any device you're migrating from (even a Windows PC!) and connect both devices to the same network, they'll rendezvous, then it'll reconfigure both wifi cards to ad-hoc networking and transfer files. Quite impressive to witness. I think I once hosted a lan party on ad-hoc mode but that was an endeavour. -- Antonin _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list [email protected] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
