manufacturer at the factory. This card allows you to access corporate
networks or the Internet in a wireless environment.
The WLAN features include:
Peer-to-Peer (Ad-Hoc) and Access Point (Infrastructure) modes
support
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) 64/128-bit data encryption
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standard compliance
