Introduction
MP54G2 (MS-6833) - Wireless 11g
MiniPCI Card
MSI MP54G2 (MS-6833) Wireless 11g MiniPCI Card (here-
after called MP54G2), 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 MP54G2, 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 MP54G2 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).

How MP54G2 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.

Infrastructure Mode : The difference between Infrastruc-
ture 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 band-
width 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 net-
works 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.
