Introduction
>>> 1.1 MSI MN54G (MS-6877) - Wireless 11g
Mini-Card
MSI MN54G (MS-6877) Wireless 11g Mini-Card (hereafter called MN54G), compliant with IEEE802.11g, is a highefficiency 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 MN54G, 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 MN54G is available to Microsoft W indows operating
systems (W indows® XP/2000/ME/98SE) and can be integrated into networking with either Ad-hoc mode (computerto-computer, without an Access Point) or Infrastructure
mode (computer-to-access point, an Access Point is
required).
>>> 1.2 How MN54G 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 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.
