If you are to do native DECnet over WIFI, note that Ethernet multicast
is a problem for WIFI and some AP's turns them in to unicasts to every client..
(This is the same problem as running IS-IS in your home network...)

Indeed, for Phase IV and IV-plus. Fixed (obscurely)
in IV-prime, and in Phase
V.
Some day I should implement IV-prime in PyDECnet. It's not all that hard.
If you just want to use WiFi to run IP based tunnel type protocols, there is no
issue. And if the router you're going to doesn't restrict the remote IP
address for its traffic (in PyDECnet, you can only do that for TCP based
protocols: Multinet and DDCMP) then you should be able to do "ad-hoc"
connections just fine.
