DESCRIPTION
Enter your network's SSID (Service Set IDentifier).
Select the type of security used by the network to which you
want to connect. The types of available security shown depend on
your computer's wireless client.
In this field, WPA(2)-Personal is the same as WPA(2)-PSK,
and WPA(2)-Enterprise is the same as WPA(2)
Select the type of encryption used by the network.
When you use WEP or 802.1x, WEP displays.
When you use a WPA mode (WPA(2)-Personal or WPA(2)-
Enterprise) you can choose AES or TKIP (if supported by your
computer's wireless client).
If your network uses WEP or WPA(2)-Personal security, enter
the key here.
Select this if you do not want the security key characters to be
hidden.
Select this box if you always want to try to connect to this
network at startup. If you leave this box unchecked, you will need
to connect manually each time.
Select this box if you always want to try to connect to this
network at startup, even if the network is not broadcasting its
SSID. The warning in this field refers to the fact that if you do
this, your computer sends out probe request packets, which
contain the network's SSID and could be used by an attacker to
access the network.
