NETGEAR MA311 guide

	When in Infrastructure mode, this field defines the Extended Service
	Set ID (ESSID). The ESSID assigned to the wireless node is required
	to match the access point ESSID in order for the wireless node to
	communicate with the access point. The default SSID is “Wireless”.
Fragment Threshold	Indicates the packet length used for fragmentation. Packets larger than
	the size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragment
	Threshold value must be larger than RTS Threshold value. The default
	value for Fragment Threshold is 2432.
Network Type	Configurable between 802.11 Ad-hoc and Infrastructure modes. In
	802.11 Ad-hoc mode, the wireless nodes form their own local network
	where the end nodes communicate peer-to-peer without an access
	point. In Infrastructure mode, the wireless searches all available
	wireless channels to associate with an access point. The default value
	for Operating Mode is Infrastructure.
Power Save Mode	The Power Save option is designed to conserve the battery life of your
	computer. When Power Save is enabled, your MA311 PCI Adapter will
	go into sleep mode to minimize power consumption.
Preamble Type	A long transmit preamble allows the receiver to lock into the received
	bit patterns more easily. A short transmit preamble provides better
	performance. An auto transmit preamble is either short or long,
	negotiated between the wireless node and the device it is
	communicating with. The default value is Long Tx Preamble.
Transmit Rate	Allows you to define the data transfer rate. The default value is Auto. In
	this case, the best transfer rate is negotiated between the wireless
	node and the device it is communicating with. This could be another
	wireless node or an access point. Other possible values for this field
	are 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, and 11 Mbps.
RTS Threshold	The packet size the wireless node uses to determine if it should use the
	CSMA/CD mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for packet
	transmission. With the CSMA/CD transmission mechanism, the
	transmitting station sends out the actual packet as soon as it has
	waited for the silence period. With the CSMA/CA transmission
	mechanism, the transmitting station sends out a RTS packet to the
	receiving station, and waits for the receiving station to send back a CTS
	packet before sending the actual packet data.
