Merging Ad-Hoc Networks
When W24 is configured to operate in ad-hoc mode, the Marvell WiFi chipset it is connected to
performs a periodic scan for other ad-hoc networks in the vicinity having the same SSID but a
different BSSID. If a scan indicates the existence of such an ad-hoc network, the Marvell chipset
initiates a procedure of merging networks. Networks merge into the one that was created earlier,
provided they operate on the same channel.
