frequency at speeds of up to 54 Mbps you can now connect your computer to
existing high-speed networks that use multiple access points within large or small
environments. Your wireless adapter maintains automatic data rate control
according to access point location to achieve the fastest possible connection. All of
your wireless network connections are easily managed by Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless
software. Profiles that are set up through the Intel PROSet/Wireless software
provide enhanced security measures with 802.1x network authentication.
NOTE: The software is compatible with the Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link

"Important Notice FOR ALL USERS OR DISTRIBUTORS!!!!
Intel wireless LAN adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and quality
checked to ensure that they meet all necessary local and governmental regulatory
agency requirements for the regions that they are designated and/or marked to ship
into. Since wireless LANs are generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with
radars, satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes
necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and limit usage to avoid interference with
these devices. In many instances Intel is required to provide test data to prove
regional and local compliance to regional and governmental regulations before
certification or approval to use the product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's
EEPROM, firmware, and software driver are designed to carefully control parameters
that affect radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These
parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage, channel
scanning, and human exposure.
For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties of the
software provided in binary format with the wireless LAN adapters (e.g., the
EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any patches, utilities, or code with
the Intel wireless LAN adapters that have been manipulated by an unauthorized
party (i.e., patches, utilities, or code (including open source code modifications)
which have not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be solely responsible for
ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear no liability,
under any theory of liability for any issues associated with the modified products,
including without limitation, claims under the warranty and/or issues arising from
regulatory non-compliance, and (iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in
providing support to any third parties for such modified products.
Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be "modules",
and accordingly, condition system-level regulatory approval upon receipt and review
of test data documenting that the antennas and system configuration do not cause
the EMC and radio operation to be non-compliant."
