Because wireless LANs are generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars, satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and limit usage to avoid interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to provide test data to prove regional and local compliance to regional and governmental regulations before certification or approval to use the product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and software driver are designed to carefully control parameters

that affect radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage, channel scanning, and human exposure.For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties of the software provided in binary format with the wireless LAN adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any patches, utilities, or code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters that have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches, utilities, or code (including open source code modifications) which have not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be solely responsible for ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear no liability, under any theory of liability for any issues associated with the modified products, including without limitation, claims under the warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory non-compliance, and (iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in providing support to any third parties for such modified products.Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be "modules", and accordingly, condition system-level regulatory approval upon receipt and review of test data documenting that the antennas and system configuration do not cause the EMC and radio operation to be non-compliant."April 2008

The following sections describe how to use the WiFi connection utility to set up the required security settings for your wireless adapter. See Personal Security.It also provides information about how to configure advanced security settings for your wireless adapter. This requires information from a systems administrator (corporate environment) or advanced security settings on your access point (for home users). See Enterprise Security.For general information about security settings, See Security Overview.Set up Data Encryption and AuthenticationIn a home wireless network you can use a variety of simple security procedures to protect your wireless connection. These include:●Enable Wi-Fi Protected Access* (WPA).●Change your password.●Change the network name (SSID).Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption provides protection for your data on the network. WPA uses an encryption key called a pre-shared key (PSK) to encrypt data before transmission. Enter the same password in all of the computers and access point in your home or small business network. Only devices that use the same encryption key can access the network or decrypt the encrypted data transmitted by other computers. The password automatically initiates the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) or AES-CCMP protocol for the data encryption process.Network KeysWEP encryption provides two levels of security:●64-bit key (sometimes referred to as 40-bit)●128-bit key (also known as 104-bit)For improved security, use a 128-bit key. If you use encryption, all wireless devices on your wireless network must use the same encryption keys.You can create the key yourself and specify the key length (64-bit or 128-bit) and key index (the location that a specific key is stored). The greater the key length, the more secure the key.Key Length: 64-bit

Instead, computers use radio communications to send data between each other. In a WLAN, a radio communications device called an access point or wireless router connects network computers and provides Internet or network access. You can communicate directly with other wireless computers, or connect to an existing network through a wireless access point. When you set up your wireless adapter, you select the operating mode for the kind of wireless network you want. You can use your Intel(R) PRO/Wireless Network Connection adapter to connect to other similar wireless devices that comply with the 802.11 standard for wireless networking. What do I Need to Set up a Wireless Network? The most common type of wireless network is an infrastructure network. To set up an infrastructure network, you need the following:●A wireless router.●A wireless network adapter for each computer that you want to connect to the

wireless computers to send information directly to other wireless computers. You can use Device-to-Device mode to network computers in a home or small office or to set up a temporary wireless network for a meeting. How do I turn my Radio on and off?You will need to turn the wireless adapter radio off (and on) on different occasions. For example, you may be required to turn the radio off when boarding an airplane. You can also turn it off to conserve battery power. There are three methods to turn the radio on and off:●Using the wireless radio hardware switch (may not be present on all computers). ●Using the WiFi On /WiFi Off button in the WiFi connection utility.●Using Windows.Remember that to connect to wireless networks, the wireless radio needs to be turned back on. If you are unable to connect to a wireless network, verify that your radio is turned on at both the hardware switch and the WiFi On /WiFi Off button in the WiFi connection utility.See Turn the Radio on or off for more information.Back to TopBack to ContentsTrademarks and Disclaimers

User Credentials: For PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP, and MS-CHAP-V2 protocols, select one of these authentication methods: Use Windows logon,Prompt each time I connect, or Use the following.3. Roaming Identity: A Roaming Identity may be populated in this field or you can use %domain%\%username% as the default format for entering a roaming identity.When 802.1X Microsoft IAS RADIUS is used as an authentication server, the server authenticates the device using the Roaming Identity from Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi software, and ignores the Authentication Protocol MS-CHAP-V2 user name. Microsoft IAS RADIUS accepts only a valid user name (dotNet user) for the Roaming Identity. For all other authentication servers, the Roaming Identity is optional. Therefore, it is recommended to use the desired realm (for example, anonymous@myrealm) for the Roaming Identity rather than a true identity. 4. Click Next to access the TTLS Server settings.$

$Step 2 of 2: TTLS Server1. Select one of the following credential retrieval methods: Validate Server Certificate or SpecifyServer or Certificate Name.2. Click OK to save the setting and close the page.Create a Windows XP* Profile with PEAP Network Authentication PEAP authentication: PEAP settings are required for the authentication of the client to the authentication server. The client uses EAP-TLS to validate the server and create a TLS-encrypted channel between client and server. The client can use another EAP mechanism, such as Microsoft Challenge Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP) Version 2, over this encrypted channel to enable server validation. The challenge and response packets are sent over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel. The following example describes how to use WPA with AES-CCMP or TKIP encryption with PEAP authentication.To set up a client with PEAP Authentication: Obtain and install a client certificate. See Create a Windows XP* Profile for TLS authentication or consult your administrator.1. Click Profiles on the WiFi connection utility main window. Or if you are acting as the administrator, open the Administrator Tool.2. On the Profiles list, click Add to open the Create Wireless Profile General Settings.3. Profile Name: Enter a descriptive profile name.4. Wireless Network Name (SSID): Enter the network identifier.5. Operating Mode: Click Network (Infrastructure). (This parameter is set to Infrastructure if you are using the Administrator Tool.)6. Administrator Profile Type: Select Persistent or Pre-logon/Common. (This step applies only if you are using the Administrator Tool.)7. Click Next to open the Security Settings.8. Click Enterprise Security.9. Network Authentication: Select WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise (Recommended).10. Data Encryption: Select one of the following: AES-CCMP is recommended. 11. Enable 802.1X: Selected by default.12. Authentication Type: Select PEAP to be used with this connection.Step 1 of 2: PEAP UserPEAP relies on Transport Layer Security (TLS) to allow unencrypted authentication types such as EAP-Generic Token Card (GTC) and One-Time Password (OTP) support. 1. Authentication Protocol: Select either GTC,MS-CHAP-V2 (Default), or TLS. See AuthenticationProtocols.2. User Credentials: Select one of the following: Use Windows logon,Prompt each time I connect, or Use the following.3. Roaming Identity: A Roaming Identity may be populated in this field or you can use %domain%\%username% as the default format for entering a roaming identity.$

$When 802.1X Microsoft IAS RADIUS is used as an authentication server, the server authenticates the device using the Roaming Identity from Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi software, and ignores the Authentication Protocol MS-CHAP-V2 user name. Microsoft IAS RADIUS accepts only a valid user name (dotNet user) for the Roaming Identity. For all other authentication servers, the Roaming Identity is optional. Therefore, it is recommended to use the desired realm (for example, anonymous@myrealm) for the Roaming Identity rather than a true identity. Configure Roaming Identity to Support Multiple Users:If you use a Pre-logon/Common profile that requires the roaming identity to be based on the Windows logon credentials, the creator of the profile can add a roaming identity that uses %username% and %domain%. The roaming identity is parsed and the appropriate log on information is substituted for the keywords. This allows maximum flexibility in configuring the roaming identity while allowing multiple users to share the profile.Please see your authentication server user guide for directions about how to format a suitable roaming identity. Possible formats are:%domain%\%user_name%%user_name%@%domain%%user_name%@%domain%.com%user_name%@mynetwork.comIf Roaming Identity is blank, %domain%\%username% is the default. Notes about the credentials: This user name and domain must match the user name that is set in the authentication server by the administrator prior to client authentication. The user name is case-sensitive. This name specifies the identity supplied to the authenticator by the authentication protocol operating over the TLS tunnel. This user identity is securely transmitted to the server only after an encrypted channel has been verified and established.Authentication ProtocolsThis parameter specifies the authentication protocols that can operate over the TTLS tunnel. Next are instructions on how to configure a profile that uses PEAP authentication with GTC,MS-CHAP-V2 (Default), or TLS authentication protocols.Generic Token Card (GTC)$
