Transmit  Power  Level  -  Selects  the  transmit  power  level  for  802.11b/g  in  mW.  Actual 
transmit power may be limited by regulatory domain or hardware limitations. 

 

Power Save Mode - 

 

Maximum -

 

Selects maximum

 

mode to let the access point buffer incoming messages 

for the wireless adapter.   The adapter will detect the access point if any messages are 
waiting periodically. 

 

Normal  -  In  Normal  mode,  the  adapter  will  be  switched  to  maximum  mode 
automatically when no large packets are retrieved. 

 

Off - turns power saving off, thus powering up the wireless adapter continuously for a 
short message response time. 

 

802.11b  Preamble  -  Specifies  the  preamble  setting  in  802.11b.   The  default  setting  is 
Short  &  Long  (access  point  mode),  which  allows  both  short  and  long  headers  in  the 
802.11b frames. The adapter can only use short radio headers if the access point supports 
and uses them. Set to Long Only to override allowing short frames. 

 

Wireless  Mode  -  Specifies  2.4  GHz  54  Mbps,  2.4  GHz  11  Mbps,  or  Super  G  (Only  for 
108M  Wireless  MINIPCI  Adapter)  operation  in  an  access  point  network.  The  wireless 
adapter must match the wireless mode of the access point with which it associates 

 

Wireless Mode when Starting an Ad Hoc Network - Specifies Super G (Only for 108M 
Wireless  MINIPCI  Adapter)  or  2.4  GHz  54/11Mbps  to  start  an  Ad  Hoc  network  if  no 
matching network name is found after scanning all available modes. This mode also allows 
the selection of the channel the wireless adapter uses.   The channels available depend on 
the regulatory domain. If the adapter finds no other ad hoc adapters, the channel that the 
adapter starts the ad hoc network with will be selected automatically. The wireless adapter 
must match the wireless mode and channel of the clients it associates. 

 

802.11  Authentication  Mode  -  Select  which  mode  the  wireless  adapter  uses  to 
authenticate to an access point: 

 

Automatic  causes  the  adapter  to  attempt  authentication  using  shared,  but  switches  it  to  open 
authentication if shared fails. 

 

Open  System  enables  an adapter  to  attempt  authentication  regardless  of  its WEP settings.  It  will 
only  associate  with  the  access  point  if  the  WEP  keys  on  both  the  adapter  and  the  access  point 
match. 

 

Shared-key only allows the adapter to associate with access points that have the same WEP key.

 

For infrastructure (access point) networks, click Preferred APs… to specify up to four access 
points to the client adapter that attempts to be associated to the access points.
