== Detailed Description ==
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.

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)]].
