Security (WEP Key)
Support the IEEE 802.11b compatible 64 bit WEP in all data rate modes.
Support 128 bit 128RC4 algorithm in all data rate modes.
PCI PME & Vaux
There is no standard specification of Wakeup-on-WirelessLAN defined. Therefore, PME pin is not
necessary. The PME pin on PCI bus is not connected to this device.
This card is default to get power from PCI +3.3V. There is an option to get power from PCI Vaux pin.
