Transmit Power

 

Selects the transmit power level for 80211b/g or 802.11a in mW. Actual

Level

 

transmit power may be limited by regulatory domain or hardware

 

 

limitations.

Power Save

 

Specify:

Mode

 

Maximum mode causes the access point to buffer incoming messages

 

 

for the wireless adapter. The adapter up periodically polls the access

 

 

point to see if any messages are waiting.

 

 

Normal uses maximum when retrieving a large number of packets, then

 

 

switches back to power save mode after retrieving the packets.

 

 

Off turns power saving off, thus powering up the wireless adapter

 

 

continuously for a short message response time.

 

 

 

Network Type

 

Specifies the network as either infrastructure (access point mode) or ad

 

 

hoc.

 

 

 

802.11b Preamble

 

Specifies the preamble setting in 802.11b. The default setting is Short

 

 

& Long (access point mode), which allows both short and long headers

 

 

in the 802.11b frames. The adapter can only use short radio headers if

 

 

the access point supports and uses them. Set to Long Only to override

 

 

allowing short frames.

 

 

 

Wireless Mode

 

Specifies 5GHz 54 Mbps, 2.4 GHz 54 Mbps, 2.4 GHz 11 Mbps, or

 

 

Super A/G operation in an access point network.

 

 

The wireless adapter must match the wireless mode of the access point

 

 

it associates to.

 

 

 

Wireless Mode

 

Specifies 5GHz 54 Mbps, 5GHz 108 Mbps, or 2.4 GHz 54/11 Mbps to

when Starting an

 

start an ad hoc network if no matching network name is found after

Ad Hoc Network

 

scanning all available modes.

 

 

This mode also allows 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 with the adapter starts the ad hoc network with.
