Is it possible to create an OS/2 Access Point?

I see that IBM have produced instructions for building a wireless access point on Linux. Wondered how much of it would apply to OS/2...

Also can someone explain the difference between ad-hoc mode and the other one (can't remember the name) ?


 

Ad-Hoc is peer to peer communication between two computers with Wireless NIC's.  No access point is needed.

Infrastructure mode is used when you have an access point which can be connected to your wired network.  An access point is like a wireless Hub.
