Configuring Wireless Adaptor Properties
Before you start you need to know:
1.
The type of network you are connecting to, infrastructure or ad-hoc.
2.
The SSID of the network you are connecting to.
The SSID is already determined on an existing network by the network administrator.
You will have to set up your adaptor in order to comply with the network. Only
when you are setting up a new network, is there an option on the SSID.
