Himm..So that way can i create an ad-hoc network? If so, that would do my job too. But again the same problem. What wifi adapters do that?
No wifi adapter. I'll try to clarify the idea.
I guess you have a PC104 mainboard and
(maybe
) some stackable modules. Right?
In this case, you can get a PC104 ethernet module, which gives you a wired ethernet connection. Then you buy a
wifi repeater, i.e. a box that normally extends the range of a wifi connection. Usually a wifi access point
(i.e. a router
) can be used as a repeater, if properly configured. Some units are very small, the size of a deck of cards, if space is important.
It is the repeater that connects to your wifi network, either
ad-hoc or
managed, to use Windows-lingo.
You
don't need any wifi drivers on the PC104 computer, because the router/repeater is configured via a web browser from any computer. Of course you do need the TCP/IP drivers for the PC104 wired ethernet card, but they come with the unit, of course.
