Hello,
Since my internet connection is only possible wireless, I would like to ad-hoc my computer to my Squeezebox through an ethernet cable.
I would suppose that there are benefits using Cat6 over a Cat5e cable for this purpose.
Does it have to be specific that I'm buying a crossover cable, because I've read that only crossover cables allow for ad-hoc networks between computer-computer (or in this case, computer-squeezebox device).
It's quite confusing how there are so many different cables out there. Cat6 patch cables, Cat6 crossover cables, Cat6 UTP cables..
If someone could help clarify. Thanks.

edit: Can I use an extra wireless adaptor on my PCMCIA slot to create an ad-hoc while I am still connected to my wireless on my other wireless device?
