Wireless network as per IEEE 802.11 standard

The wireless LAN network card operates in accordance with the IEEE 802.11 standard. The 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band is used as a communications medium. The wireless networks operating in accordance with 802.11 can easily be connected to existing Ethernet networks. With the exception of a few additional parameters, wireless network cards that operate in accordance with 802.11 are one system with a normal Ethernet card. This means that you can use all protocols via a 802.11 wireless network just as with a cable-connected Ethernet (IP, IPX, NetBIOS,...). The only difference is that you need not lay cables between the computers. The number of all wireless LAN stations that can reach each other directly is generally referred to as a cell. The IEEE standard offers two operating modes - the adhoc mode (peer-to-peer) and the infrastructure mode.
