savings. At the time of the expected beacon the card wakes itself up and
receives the beacon. The received beacon contains information about
whether the Access Point or station has buffered frames for the card. If
frames are available the card requests those frames until no more frames
are available. The card then goes back to sleep until the next beacon.
For Access Points that support power save mode and for stations
equipped with WLAN cards, enabling this mode can significantly reduce
power consumption, which is particularly important if the host computer is
operating on battery power. However, be aware that power save mode
also results in lowered transmission and reception speed on the wireless
LAN.
4.1.6 Selecting the Peer-to-Peer Channel
When communicating in Peer-to-Peer or Pseudo AdHoc type, you must
specify a channel on which communications will take place. To specify a
channel, click the up or down arrow at the right of the Peer-to-Peer
Channel field until the channel you want to set appears, and then click the
Apply button.
This field is greyed in Access Point type because the channel is
automatically selected by the Access Point.
