- At one point, you mention 'configuring the card as an access point', at another you mention 'in ad-hoc mode'. For people who have been around wireless too long, they may think of these as two different things. (And not all cards support Master mode.)

Test Plan

The test plan says "different wireless security settings" - could you suggest some specific settings to test? It'd be also good if we knew which were the more common settings In The Wild.

MatthiasClasen: I don't know anything about this, all the wireless acronymns only confuse me...I'll ask Dan to provide some input.

[2008-07-21] dcbw: clarified in the main article. You can only use open, WEP-40, WEP-128, and WPA-PSK. Since there is no central authentication server with adhoc wifi networks, you cannot use any 802.1x-based methods like WPA[2]-Enterprise or LEAP.

As for "different operating systems on the second laptop" - is (some windows variant) and (some OS X variant) sufficient, or do we also need to test other Linux distros, specific Windows/OS X versions, etc?

MatthiasClasen: The more the better, I'd say. But certainly, Windows, OS X, iphone would be the most important ones.

[2008-07-21] dcbw: clarified in the main article. I believe that any OS should work here, as long as that OS performs DHCP when connecting to ad-hoc wifi networks. I'm 85% sure that Mac OS X does this, unsure about Windows. This should be tested.

[2008-07-21] dcbw: note that kernel drivers are still pretty spotty in Ad-Hoc mode, that will get fixed up as time goes on and I've already pushed a bunch of fixes into 2.6.26 and posted them to 2.6.25-stable as well.
