Introduction
>>> 1.1 MP11B2 (MS-6827) - Wireless 11b
MiniPCI Card
MP11B2 (MS-6827) Wireless 11b MiniPCI Card (hereafter
called MP11B2), compliant with IEEE802.11b, is a highefficiency wireless adapter for wireless networking at home,
in office or in public places. The data transfer rate can be
auto-negotiated to 1, 2, 5.5Mbps or up to 11Mbps, and is
compatible with any existing IEEE802.11b devices.
With MP11B2, 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 MP11B2 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).

>>> 1.2 How MP11B2 Works
Ad-hoc Mode
An Ad-hoc network is a local area network or other small
network, especially one with wireless or temporary plugin 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.

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.
