Specifies Super G or 2.4 GHz 54/11

available modes. This mode also allows the selection of the channel the wireless adapter
uses. The channels available depend on the regulatory domain. If the adapter finds no other
ad hoc adapters, this selection specifies which channel the adapter starts the ad hoc network
with. The wireless adapter must match the wireless mode and channel of the clients it
associates.

802.11 Authentication Mode -
Select which mode the wireless adapter uses to authenticate
to an access point:

authentication if shared fails.

Open System
enables an adapter to attempt authentication regardless of its WEP settings. It will only
associate with the access point if the WEP keys on both the adapter and the access point match.
•
Shared-Key
only allows the adapter to associate with access points that have the same WEP key.
