The ASUS Wi-Fi slot is designed for the ASUS WiFi-b™ add-on card to set
up an environment for wireless LAN. The ASUS WiFi-b™ add-on card
bundles the exclusive software Access Point (AP) to save the extra cost of
a stand-alone AP. In addition, the card comes with user-friendly utilities
and applications that allow quick connection to notebooks, PDAs and
other wireless LAN peripherals. See page 2-19.
AI NET solution
The Marvell ® Gigabit LAN controller chipset is onboard to provide a
single-chip solution for LAN on Motherboard (LOM) applications. The

Access Control (IEEE 802.3 compliant) and Physical Layer Transceiver
solution to support high performance network applications. The controller
is equipped with the Virtual Cable Tester (VCT) net-diagnosing utility, that
intelligently diagnoses and reports cable faults from a remote location up
to 100 meters. This feature helps maintain a more stable network
connection. See page 5-12.
