Low-power operation for battery-powered devices with PC Card slots.
Standard NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification) drivers.
Card and Socket Services support.
WEP 40- and 128-bit data security.
Power management (Continuously Aware Mode (CAM) and Power
Save Polling (PSP)).
In ESS (802.11 Station) mode, the adapter connects to an access point
(AP). In ESS mode, the adapter can roam freely between access point
cells in the network or transmit and receive across subnets. MUs appear
as network nodes to other devices in the network. ESS is the default
mode for the adapter.
Use the IBSS (802.11 Ad Hoc) mode to form peer-to-peer networks
without access points. Use IBSS to create networks where needed
within established cells. The MU starting the IBSS network (the first
WLAN adapter transmitting a beacon) determines the channel and data
rate used for the other adapters in the IBSS network.
