	The Feature will add three default ~~Ad-~~hoc networks, for channel 1, 6 and 11. They will be represented with designated icons in the ~~neighborhood~~ view. This will mimic the mesh behavior on devices where mesh hardware is not available and make the "under a tree"-scenario possible in those cases. If Sugar sees no "known" network (the learner has not been connected to an currently available Access Point before) when it starts, it does autoconnect to an ~~Ad-~~hoc network. First we try if there is an ~~Ad-~~hoc network that is used by other learners in the area, if not we default to channel 1.

If Sugar sees no "known" network (the learner has not been connected to an currently available Access Point before) when it starts, it does autoconnect to an ad hoc network.

	The ~~Ad-~~hoc networks are represented using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_numerals Maya numerals]. They use the same representation as access points to show the status of the connection [[Features/~~Sugar_Adhoc_Networks~~/Testing#Connect_both_machines_to_the_same_channel \| (picture Connected)]]. The fill color is used to indicate if other members are connected to the network. It does not indicate the number of people that are connected though. If the fill color of the ~~Ad-~~hoc icon is set then there is at least one person listening [[Features/~~Sugar_Adhoc_Networks~~/Testing#Members \| (picture members)]].

			The sugar module is affected by this Feature and the sugar-artwork module by the addition of the six icons (3 channels, two states each). The patch tries to not be too invasive as it is meant to be back ported to 0.84.
