1.Introduction
1.1 The Wireless-G PCI Adapter
The Wireless-G PCI Adapter can be installed in most desktops and provides true flexibility by
allowing the computer to be positioned almost anywhere in the building without the cost and
hassle of running network cables. Using the wireless PCI adapter, you don't have to worry about
drilling holes in your walls and climbing through the attic or cellar to get connected to the network.
Once installed and connected, you can keep in touch with friends and work through e-mail,
instant messaging and chat rooms as well as sharing files and other network resources such as
printers and network storage with other computers.
The Wireless-G PCI Adapter connects to 802.11g networks at an incredible speed of 54Mbps and
for added versatility; it can also interoperate with all Wireless-B (802.11b) products found in
homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the country. In either mode, wireless
communications are protected by WEP and advanced WPA encryption levels.

2.1 Network Topology
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is exactly like a regular local area network (LAN), except
that each computer in the WLAN uses a wireless device to connect to the network. Computers in
a WLAN share the same frequency channel and SSID, which is an identification name for
wireless devices.
2.2 AD-Hoc versus Infrastructure Mode
An Ad-Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with one WLAN adapter,
connected as an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a specific Ad-Hoc wireless LAN
must all be configured to share the same radio channel.
An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. In this mode, a
group of wireless nodes and an Access Point compose a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each wireless
node in a BSS can talk to any computer in the wired LAN infrastructure via the Access Point.
