Device Configuration
Configuration of the D-Link DW-290 Wireless Network mini PCI Card can be
done through the Network Control Panel (NCP) in adapter properties. You
can set the Wireless Network mini PCI Card to work in one of two modes,
either infrastructure mode (which leverages an AP) or ad hoc mode (which
consists of a group of stations participating in the WLAN).
In infrastructure mode, the Wireless Network mini PCI Card participates in a
basic service set (BSS) as a station, and communicates with the other
stations through an AP, as illustrated in Figure 2-1.
