Wireless Magic - Using the Built-In Wireless Network Function

If your Joybook is equipped with a wireless network card, you can access Ethernet
network wirelessly without the constraints of network cables.
At home or in the office, you need an access point, which serves as an air station to
make transmission possible. Outdoors in places such as in coffee shops or library,
you can inquire the service personnel about an account.
When travelling by air, please be sure to turn off wireless networking to avoid any
possible risks to flight safety.
