2. Select the Configuration tab.
In the Profile box, you can
enter a name for a profile, or
group of settings, and change
any of the settings on this
page. Then, multiple profiles
can be saved with different set-
tings. These profiles allow
multiple configurations for
quick switching between net-
works, etc. Under the
Wireless Mode drop-box,
you may choose either
Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc.
Infrastructure Mode allows
a wireless adapter to commu-
nicate with a wired network
employing an Access Point, while the Ad-Hoc mode allows wireless-to-wireless,
peer-to-peer communication. If you choose Infrastructure, the SSID should
have the same name as the Access Point. If you choose Ad-Hoc, all clients
should share the same SSID name. You may also select which Transfer
Rate you wish to use: Auto Rate or 1, 2, 5.5, or 11Mbps. Under Power
Saving Mode, select Disabled for uninterrupted data communication, or
Enabled to allow your PC to enter "sleep" mode, during which data com-
munication could be interrupted. Click Apply Changes to save the set-
tings.

The list on the adjacent screen
