IntroductionThe LW001A and LW007A function exactly the same way, but the LW001A has permanently attached antennas, and the LW007A has detachable antennas. A third Hub, LW005A which is covered in a separate manual, has the same hardware as the LW007A, but different software. It works with portable computers equipped with the PCMCIA Wireless Adapter LW006A to connect to wired Ethernet LANs 3-MBPS WIRELESS ETHERNET HUBS, ADAPTERS, AND BRIDGES Figure 3-1.
