When I set up the adhoc network, the tablet I was using seemed to recognize it and connect correctly. I didn't try sending any data, though, seeing as I didn't have any programs written for it yet.
Thanks for the tip on how to set it up. I think I got so overwhelmed by all of the huge libraries that I may have missed some of the simpler stuff. I'm back to reading the WiFly manual now, so hopefully I can take care of everything with that.
