options for the sharing of wireless networks to

 

verify identity and access privileges of roaming

 

wireless network cards. You may choose between

 

Open, Shared Authentication, and Both.

 

If the access point is using "Open

Shared Authentication is when both the sender

 

and the recipient share a secret key.

 

Select Both for the network adapter to select the

 

Authentication mode automatically depending on
