Wireless Mode when Starting an Ad Hoc Network
: Specifies 2.4 GHz 54/11
Mbps to start an Ad Hoc network if no matching network name is found after
scanning all available modes. This mode also allows the selection of the channel that
the Wireless Adapter uses. The channels available depend on the regulatory domain.
If the adapter finds no other ad hoc adapters, the channel that the adapter starts the
ad hoc network with will be selected automatically. The Adapter must match the
wireless mode and channel of the clients it associates.
802.11 Authentication Mode
: Select which mode the Adapter uses to authenticate
to an access point:
•
Auto -
Automatic causes the adapter to attempt authentication using shared,
but switches it to open authentication if shared fails.
•
Open -
Open System enables an adapter to attempt authentication regardless
of its WEP settings. It will only associate with the access point if the WEP keys on
both the adapter and the access point match.
•
Shared -
Shared-key only allows the adapter to associate with access points that
have the same WEP key.
