Description
Master – Communicates with associated wireless cards
that are in managed mode. Appears as a normal access
point with an SSID and channel. Network
communications, such as authentication, conflict, and
duplicate packets are managed by the wireless card.
Managed – Communicates with an associated master,
not directly with another managed AP. Wireless cards
connect to the master network and change their channel
to match. The master must accept the credentials of the
managed network for it to be associated.
Ad-hoc – Communicates directly with another wireless
network. Network cards must be in range and use the
same name and channel.
Monitor – Communicates in observation mode and does
not transmit. Can be used for troubleshooting wireless
links or checking bandwidth usage in the area.
