2. Usually, infrastructure mode is used in an enterprise environment where
APs are installed and maintained by corporate IT staff. Much of the data
in the enterprise network is confidential. It is important to configure
security to make sure only stations with appropriate keys can receive
sensitive data. The D-Link WMP-A12 Wireless Network mini PCI Card
and NDIS driver support key lengths of 40 bits, 104 bits and 128 bits.
Typically, the appropriate encryption and decryption keys are supplied by
the corporate IT staff.

Network mini PCI Card in ad hoc or IBSS mode. See Section “Ad Hoc Mode”
on page 2-23 for descriptions of ad hoc operation.
1. Similar to the set-up of AP Infrastructure mode described in the previous
section, ad hoc mode is also configured by changing the options in the
Network Configuration Settings of the D-Link NIC Configuration utility.
Use the following information as a guideline to choose the values of each
field in the configuration window:

must be unique. Configuration names are case insensitive.
−

mode. The SSID for all stations in a single ad hoc network must be
the same.
