Your client adapter's data rate must be set to Auto or must
match the data rate of the access point (in infrastructure mode)
or the other clients (in ad hoc mode) with which it is to
communicate. Otherwise, your client adapter may not be able
to associate to them.
If ACU is running but a client adapter is not currently inserted
in the Windows CE device, the data rate options are based on
the last adapter that was running in the system.
