1. Check latest software/driver release for updates on supported security features.
2. Maximum output power may vary by country according to local regulations.
3. In Power Save Polling mode and on battery power.
4. Receiver sensitivity is measured at a packet error rate of 8% for 802.11b (CCK modulation) and a packet
error rate of 10% for 802.11a/g (OFDM modulation).
5. WLAN supplier's client utility is required for Cisco Compatible Extensions support with Microsoft
Windows XP. WLAN may also be compatible with certain third-party software supplicants. WLAN supplier
IHV extensions required for Cisco Compatible Extensions support for Microsoft Windows Vista.
