network adapter has to fulfill the wireless communication via AP
or wireless router. It can be devided into two modes:wireless
AP + wireless network adapter and wireless router + wireless
network adapter.
Ad-Hoc is a special wireless mobile network application mode.
All nodes in the network are equal.Usually it is used to share
resources by connecting the opposing computers wireless
