The MAC address is a unique 48-bit hardware address assigned to each wireless

of known MAC addresses. If you try to join such a network, you must provide your 
mini adapter’s MAC address (shown here) to the network administrator before you

Region. The mini adapter’s region setting. Wireless channels in use depend on the 
country or region. Your mini adapter automatically scans approved channels for your 
region when it checks to see which networks are available in your area. Governments 
regulate the channels used for wireless transmission. Operating the mini adapter in a 
different region might violate local laws.
