This manual describes the procedures required to properly set up and configure the integrated Wireless 
LAN Mini-PCI device (referred to as "WLAN device" in the rest of the manual). Before using the WLAN 
device, read this manual carefully to ensure its correct operation. Keep this manual in a safe place for 
future reference.

This document is applicable to systems containing the following WLAN device: 

Atheros XSPAN HB97 802.11bgn wireless LAN device

The WLAN device is a Mini-PCI card attached to the main board of the mobile computer. 

The WLAN device operates in license-free RF bands, eliminating the need to procure an FCC operating 
license. The WLAN operates in the 2.4GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band and the lower, 
middle, and upper bands of the 5GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) bands. 

The wireless LAN devices are capable of three operating modes, IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, and 
IEEE802.11n

The WLAN device is Wi-Fi certified and operates at a the maximum data rate of 540 Mbps (theoretical) in 
IEEE802.11n mode; 54 Mbps in IEEE802.11g mode; and 11 Mbps in IEEE802.11b mode.

The WLAN device supports the following encryption methods - WEP, TKIP, CKIP, and AES encryption.

The WLAN device is compliant with the following standards: WPA, WPA2, CCX1.0, CCX2.0, CCX3.0, CX4.0.
