Status
Description
Device
A description of your client adapter.
Serial Number
The serial number of your client adapter.
Note
The serial number appears only if the number has been
programmed into your card.
Manufacturer
The manufacturer of your client adapter.
Firmware Version
The version of the firmware that is currently running on your client
adapter.
Boot Block Version
The version of the boot block firmware that is currently in your client
adapter. The boot block firmware contains identification information
for the client adapter and functions to start up the radio and pass control
to the main firmware, which (unlike the boot block) can be modified
and upgraded by the user.
NDIS Driver Version
The version of the NDIS device driver that is currently installed on your
computer.
Default Profile
The network configuration (or profile) shown in the Use Selected
Profile drop-down box on the Profile Manager screen. This is the
profile that you have selected as the active profile.
Note
The current profile may be different than the default profile if
you are using auto profile selection. The client adapter will not
switch profiles as long as it remains associated to the access
point or reassociates within 10 seconds (or within the time
specified by the LEAP authentication timeout value if LEAP is
enabled). Refer to
Chapter 4
for information on creating and
using profiles.
Current Profile
The network configuration (or profile) your client adapter is currently
using.
Note
The current profile may be different than the default profile if
you are using auto profile selection. The client adapter does not
switch profiles as long as it remains associated to the access
point or reassociates within 10 seconds (or within the time
specified by the LEAP authentication timeout value if LEAP is
enabled). Refer to
Chapter 4
for information on creating and
using profiles.
Note
If your current profile becomes disabled due to an invalid LEAP
username and password, this field lists the profile as Disabled.
Using Short Radio Headers

headers.
Value:
Yes or No
Note
This setting appears only for 2.4-GHz client adapters.
Note
Refer to the Use Short Radio Headers parameter in
Table 5-3
for information on using short radio headers.
