    Click on the networking icon in the top right hand corner,and choose the Create New Wireless Network option. Enter a name for your network, choose the security you require and set up a security key (if security is enabled). Hit Create and your wireless network will be create and begin broadcasting.

    This process depends on your card supporting the ad-hoc connection mode.
