1. Check latest software/driver release for updates on supported security features.
2. Maximum output power may vary by country according to local regulations.
3. Receiver sensitivity is measured at a packet error rate of 8% for 802.11b (CCK modulation) and a packet
error rate of 10% for 802.11a/g (OFDM modulation).
4. WLAN supplier's client utility is required for Cisco Compatible Extensions support with Microsoft
Windows XP. WLAN may also be compatible with certain third-party software supplicants. WLAN supplier
IHV extensions required for Cisco Compatible Extensions support for Microsoft Windows Vista.
