1.6 Two Basic Operating Modes
This card can be operated in the following two basic modes:
1. Infrastructure Mode: An 802.11 networking framework in which devices and
computers communicate with each other by first going through an Access Point (AP).
For example, this mode is used when computers in a house connect to an AP that is
attached to a router that lets multiple computers share a single Cable or DSL
broadband Internet connection.
2. Ad Hoc Mode: An 802.11 networking framework in which devices or computers
communicate directly with each other, without the use of an AP. For example, Ad
Hoc Mode is used when two Windows computers are configured with file and print
sharing enabled and you want to exchange files directly between them.
Both of these configuration options are available with this card and are instructed in this
user manual.
