Hello, I've a customer needs to connect 2 pc via wireless without using an Access Point (same as ethernet cross cable).
Is there any devices able to do this ? The installation will be in Italy: devices must be available at italian market and frequencies must to responds to italian laws.
May anyone helps me ?
Thanks in advanced best regards Davide
You'll need to set up an ad-hoc network between the 2 machines. All (OK, don't quote me on this) wifi adapters have this sort of functionallity. In this mode (as opposed to infrastructure mode) the 2 wifi cards communicate with each other directly - no access point.
Hope this Helps

All client devices I know of allow this, and it is called Ad Hoc mode
You just have to think up an SSID and make sure you put the same on both cards (it's like a network identifier) Also, make sure WEP encryption is disabled on both, until you get connectivity
Also, put in manual IP addresses
192.168.0.1 for the internet pc 192.168.0.2 for the other oneWhen on 192.168.0.2 you can "ping 192.168.0.1", you know your hardware is working and within range, etc... now you can play with dhcp, blah balhaba wep etc.
