when bridging LAN to LAN.
The sales pitch is very forthright though...
"Strict adherence to the latest IEEE 802.11b specifications makes the
D-LinkAir DWL-810 interoperable with all 802.11b wireless equipment"
and
"Network Architecture: Supports Ad-Hoc Mode (Peer-to-Peer without
Access Point) or Infrastructure Mode "
Time to fire off an e-mail to their sales desk and extract a "yout
money back it doesn't work" guarantee.
