Wireless Client Adapter
ORiNOCO Wireless Client Adapters are similar to Ethernet adapters for
wired LANs. Like wired adapters, wireless adapters require installation of a
dedicated driver, but unlike wired adapters, they do not need a cable to
connect them to the network. Only wireless network interfaces allow you to
relocate workstations without the need to change network cabling or
connections to patch panels or hubs.
ORiNOCO offers the following types of adapters:
■
