Introduction

Overview

August 14, 2007, 2.00 Document Classification: Proprietary Information Page 9

1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

This document describes the functions of the Marvell Wireless Client Card Configuration Utility for

the following Marvell® IEEE 802.11g/b and draft-802.11n WLAN client cards:

Marvell CB-82 CardBus WLAN Client Card

Marvell MB-82 Mini PCI WLAN Client Card

Marvell EC-82 PCI Express WLAN Client Card

Marvell MC-82 PCI Express WLAN Client Mini Card

Marvell high throughput client cards are both IEEE 802.11g/b and draft-802.11n compliant.

1.2 Wireless Networks

The Marvell client cards operate similar to Ethernet cards, except that a radio replaces the wires

between communication devices. All existing applications that operate over Ethernet operate over a

Marvell wireless network without any modification or need for special wireless networking software.

The Marvell client cards support the following network technologies:

Ad-Hoc (peer-to-peer group) mode

Access Point (AP) Infrastructure mode

1.2.1 Ad-Hoc Mode

In Ad-Hoc mode (also referred to as peer-to-peer mode), wireless clients send and receive

information to other wireless clients without using an AP. In comparison to Infrastructure mode, this

type of WLAN connection only contains wireless clients. Ad-Hoc mode is useful for establishing a

network where wireless infrastructure does not exist or where services are not required. Two or

more computers can establish an Ad-Hoc network when within range of one another.

Ad-Hoc mode is used to connect network computers at home or in small offices. It can also be used

to set up a temporary wireless network for meetings.

1.2.2 Infrastructure Mode

In Infrastructure mode, wireless devices communicate with other wireless devices or devices on the

LAN side wired network through APs. When communicating through wired networks, client cards

send and receive information through APs.

Access Points are typically strategically located within an area to provide optimal coverage for

wireless clients. A large WLAN uses multiple APs to provide coverage over a wide area. APs

connect to a LAN through a wired Ethernet connection. APs send and receive information from the

LAN through this wired connection. Most corporate WLANs operate in Infrastructure mode because

they require access to the wired LAN in order to use services such as file servers or printers.

Note

For information on installing the Marvell Wireless Configuration Utility, the Marvell

client card, and the Marvell Windows driver, see the CB-82/MB-82/EC-82/MC-82

Installation Guide.

Security

August 14, 2007, 2.00 Document Classification: Proprietary Information Page 13

2.3 Security

Implementing a security infrastructure to monitor physical access to WLAN networks is more difficult

than monitoring access on wired networks. Unlike wired networks where a physical connection is

required, anyone within the range of a wireless AP can send and receive frames, as well as listen for

frames being sent.

IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.1X define a set of standards and protocols for use in minimizing the

security risks on wireless networks. These include the authentication modes used to authenticate

the wireless client station and the wireless AP to be connected, complemented by different

encryption methods used for data to be transmitted over the wireless network. Four of these security

standards are as follows:

802.1X—802.1X authentication provides authenticated access to 802.11 wireless networks and

to wired Ethernet networks. 802.1X minimizes wireless network security risks by providing user

and computer identification, centralized authentication, and encryption services based on the

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm. 802.1X supports the Extensible Authentication

Protocol (EAP). EAP allows the use of different authentication methods, such as smart cards

and certificates.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)—WEP is a basic security implementation according to the

IEEE 802.11 standard. Due to various security issues WEP encryption is vulnerable and was

therefore superseded by WPA and WPA2 encryption.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)—WPA is a security implementation based on a subset of the

802.11i standard. WPA provides enhanced security for wireless networks when used with the

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and the Message Integrity Check (MIC) algorithms.

Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)—WPA2 is the next generation Wi-Fi security, based on the

final 802.11i standard. WPA2 offers the strongest available security in the form of Advanced

Encryption Standard (AES) level encryption, plus faster roaming between APs.

separated by periods. Each number can be 0 to 255.

Subnet Mask A mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to. An IP

address has two components, the network part and the host part. The

subnet mask specifies the network part of the IP address.

Default Gateway The default node on a network that serves as an entrance to another

network. In enterprises, the gateway is the computer that routes the traffic

from a workstation to the outside network that is serving the Web pages.

In homes, the gateway is the Internet Service Provider (ISP) that connects

the user to the Internet.
