|
An independent wireless LAN network formed by a group of |
| |
| computers, each with a network adapter. |
|
AP Client: | One of the additional AP operating modes offered by a 54Mbps |

| Open System: Open System authentication is the simplest of |
|
| the available authentication algorithms. Essentially it is a null |

|
| with this algorithm may become authenticated if 802.11 |
|
| Authentication Type at the recipient station is set to Open System | |
