2.2.1 Network Card Installation
There are two kinds of wireless connection modes: Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc.
Infrastructure mode is used by wireless access points which establish wireless
connections for you and other wireless / wired network clients.
Ad-Hoc mode is also know as ‘point-to-point’ mode, and in this mode, wireless
devices such as computer or PDA will not be capable to establish wireless
connection with more than one wireless device, and is suitable for establishing a
one-to-one wireless connection between two wireless devices.
Before you can connect to any wireless access point or device by infrastructure or
Ad-Hoc mode, there two things you must know:
a. The SSID of a Wireless device (Service Set Identifier, also known as the
‘access point’s name’).
You can scan for the SSID of other wireless devices nearby, but if the
SSID of the wireless device you wish to connect is hidden, you must
know the exact SSID before you can establish connection with it.
b. If the wireless device which you wish to connect uses encryption, you
must know its encryption key.
Please launch the setup utility and it will scan for wireless access points near by:
