Wireless 54 Mbps PCI Card

Windows XP will use your PC/PCI Card to scan the local area for networks. The local
networks it detects are displayed by their SSID. In the case above, the PC/PCI Card is to
connect to the network with the
SSID “tld3-504w”. You can click the Connect button to accept the default connection or
click the Advanced button to modify the default settings.
In most cases especially in wireless networks that do not use Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) encryption, this is all that is required to gain network access.
Selecting a Wireless Network
If your network is using WEP, or if you need to modify the default settings for your PC/PCI Card,
click the Advanced button to display the Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog box, as
shown below
.
Windows XP again shows you the wireless networks it has been able to detect in the local
area.
