802.11 management module used for ad-hoc mode. Relies on the MAC layer (Ieee80211Mac) for reception and transmission of frames.

This implementation never sends control or management frames, and discards any such frame received. Distributed beacon generation is not modelled. Only data frames are understood or sent at any time.

This module never switches channels, that is, it will operate on the channel the physical layer is configured for (see channelNumber in Ieee80211Radio).
