Do you mean something like this?:

    -----  wifi "adhoc1"  ------  wifi "adhoc2"  --------     /
   |Host1|---------------|Router|---------------|Gatewway|---| Internet
    ----- LL1         LL2 ------ LL3        LL4  --------     \
          G1                                G4


        "adhoc1" and "adhoc2": 802.11 ESSIDs in "ad-hoc" mode.
                               Each is an IPv6 subnet.
        LL1...4: IPv6 link-local addresses.
                 Self-formed according to rfc2464.
        G1, G4: ?
