Introduction
>>> 1.1 MP54G - Wireless 11g MiniPCI Card
MSI Wireless 11g MiniPCI Card MP54G (hereafter called
MP54G), compliant with IEEE802.11g, is a high-efficiency wireless adapter for wireless networking at
home, in office or in public places. The data rate can be
up to 54 Mbps and auto-negotiated to 48, 36, 24, 18, 12,
9, 6Mbps (IEEE 802.11g), or 11, 5.5, 2, 1Mbps
(IEEE802.11b).
With MP54G, you can roam between conference room
and office without being disconnected the LAN cables; in
addition, sharing files and printers can be easy tasks.
The MP54G is available to Microsoft Windows operating
systems (Windows® XP/2000/ME/98SE) and can be
integrated into networking with either Ad-hoc mode
(computer-to-computer, without an Access Point) or
Infrastructure mode (computer-to-access point, an
Access Point is required).
Wireless 11g MiniPCI Card MP54G User’s Guide
>>> 1.2 How MP54G Works
Ad-hoc Mode : An Ad-hoc network is a local area network
or other small network, especially one with wireless or
temporary plug-in connections, in which some of the
network devices are part of the network only for the
duration of a communications session. Users in the
network can share files, print to a shared printer, and
access the Internet with a shared modem. In this kind
of network, new devices can be quickly added; however,
users can only communicate with other wireless LAN
computers that are in this wireless LAN workgroup, and
are within range.
Wireless 11g MiniPCI Card MP54G User’s Guide
Infrastructure Mode : The difference between Infrastructure network and Ad-hoc network is that the former one
includes an Access Point. In an Infrastructure network,
the Access Point can manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization. Additionally, the Access Point
enables users on a wireless LAN to access an existing
wired network, allowing wireless users to take advantage of the wired networks resources, such as Internet,
email, file transfer, and printer sharing. The scale and
range of the Infrastructure network are larger and wider
than that of the Ad-hoc networking.
