User's Manual

The PCI adapter wakes up more often and responds sooner to
network requests in Normal mode than in Maximum mode; and the
Maximum mode consumes less power than Normal mode.
Network Type
Select either Infrastructure if you are connecting to the WLAN using an
access point
802.11 Authentication Mode (Only applicable to Infrastructure mode, after you
have enabled the encryption mode)
Select which mode the wireless adapter uses to authenticate to an
access point:
• Auto
Causes the PCI adapter to attempt authentication using shared
authentication. It then switches to open authentication if shared
authentication fails.
• Open
Enables the PCI adapter to attempt authentication regardless of its
WEP settings. It will only associate with the access point if its WEP
settings match those of the access point.
• Shared
Allows the adapter to authenticate and associate only if it has the
same WEP settings as the access point
