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 or 2.4 GHz 11 Mbps 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 2.4 GHz 54/11 Mbps
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 W EP keys on
both the adapter and the access point match.
•
Shared-key only allows the adapter to associate with access points that have
