I'm not sure that the benefit really pays off. AirDrop doesn't need network infrastructure but it does need a wi-fi adapter needs to support active monitor mode (it's extremely common for hardware to lack support for this). The requirement for network infrastructure can be worked around by creating an ad-hoc wifi network.
