1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the 802.11g Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Card. This card complies with IEEE
802.11g standard, which supports up to 54Mbps high-speed wireless network connections. It can also
work with IEEE 802.11b devices. When the card connects to 11b devices, the link speed will be up to
11Mbps.
For WLAN security issues, this card supports 64/128/152-bit WEP data encryption that protects your
wireless network from eavesdropping. It also provides WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) feature that
combines IEEE 802.1x and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) technologies. Client users are
required to authorize before accessing to APs or AP Routers, and the data transmitted in the network is
encrypted/decrypted by a secret key dynamically changed. This card has built-in AES engine which
ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information and it is the most advanced
solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the wireless network.
The power consumption of the card is also very low. Furthermore, this card provides several levels of
power saving modes allowing user customizes the way of saving the power from his/her portable or
handheld devices.
This card is cost-effective, together with the versatile features; it is the best solution for you to build your
wireless network.
