At this time a can't offer an exact list, but in fact i don't know
anybody wo has no problems with the ad-hoc-network.

If you can connect with the mesh, means not that all went fine!
There are effects like aborting, hanging or slow connections and
sometimes connecting ist no problem - some minutes later nothing
works. Surfing a bit in the web doesnt mean, that you can reliable
work or transmit some gigs of data...

The list offers to less details to be useable ;-)

Are there any? Ad-hoc-mode is far from being easy to implement...
