I have avoided wireless due to MAC address restriction when the wireless adaptor is a
client. It sort of makes DECnet a bit difficult directly over wireless ‘ethernet’.
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.
