ad hoc band frequency is used.
 802.11a: Select this option when 802.11a (5 GHz) ad hoc band
frequency is used. This setting does not apply to the Intel® WiFi
Link 1000 adapter.

Set power saving features for device to device (ad hoc) networks.
 Disable: Select when connecting to ad hoc networks that contain
stations that do not support ad hoc power management
 Maximum Power Savings: Select to optimize battery life.
 Noisy Environment: Select to optimize performance or connecting

Ad Hoc QoS
Mode
Quality of Service (QoS) control in ad hoc networks. QoS provides
prioritization of traffic from the access point over a wireless LAN based on
traffic classification. WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is the QoS certification of
the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA). When WMM is enabled, the WiFi adapter uses
WMM to support priority tagging and queuing capabilities for Wi-Fi
networks.
 WMM Enabled (Default)
 WMM Disabled
Fat Channel
Intolerant
This setting communicates to surrounding networks that this WiFi adapter is
not tolerant of 40MHz channels in the 2.4GHz band. The default setting is
for this to be turned off (disabled), so that the adapter does not send this
notification.
NOTE: This setting does not apply to the following adapters:
 Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG_
 Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
Mixed mode
protection
Use to avoid data collisions in a mixed 802.11b and 802.11g environment.
Request to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) should be used in an environment
where clients may not hear each other. CTS-to-self can be used to gain more
throughput in an environment where clients are in close proximity and can
hear each other.
