    Chapter 1 Introduction The W L-3563 is an IEEE 802.11g W ireless PCMCIA card that can operate in either Ad-Hoc mode (Point to Point/Point to Multipoint without an Access Point) or Infrastructure mode (Point to Point/Point to Multipoint with an Access Point). IEEE 802.11g uses 2.4GHz frequency band that is the same with IEEE 802.11b, but provides high-speed transfer rate up to 54Mbps that is almost 5 times throughput rate than 802.11b.

If the network is quiet and two devices access the line at exactly the same time, their signals collide. When the collision is detected, they both back off and wait a random amount of time before retrying.
