Introduction
The Wireless adapter is an IEEE 802.11G compliant wireless LAN adapter. It fully supports wireless
networking under Windows 98, ME, 2000 & XP with a maximum transfer rate of 100Mbps.
The Wireless adapter can operate in Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure network congurations. Ad-Hoc mode
allows the Wireless Cardbus PC-Card users to join a Basic Service Set (i.e., peer-to-peer mode,
without an access point). Infrastructure mode allows the Wireless Cardbus PC-Card users to join an
Extended Basic Service Set (i.e., connect to an access point)
Wireless LAN (Local Area Network) systems offer a great number of advantages over a traditional
wired system. Wireless LAN’s (WLAN’s) are more exible, easier to manage and often more cost
effective then their wired equivalence.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLAN’s transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing the
need for wired connections. Thus, WLAN’s combine data connectivity with user mobility and through
simplied conguration enable moveable LAN’s
