WLAN PCI Card User’s Manual 
Chapter 1 - Introduction 
 
Thank you for purchasing the IEEE802.11b WLAN PCI Card. This high-speed 
IEEE802.11b WLAN PCI Card provides you with an innovative wireless networking 
solution. The Card is easy to set up and use. With this innovative wireless technology, 
you can share files and printers on the network—without inconvenient wires!   
 
The Card is a network Adapter with a rate of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps operating in 
the ISM band using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) transmission 
implementing the IEEE 802.11b standard. This Adapter provides Device Drivers 
for Windows Operating Systems. It also provides tools for the configuration of the 
Card. The tool, as well as the installation steps of the plug-and-play procedure for 
the Windows operating systems, is described in this document. 
 
Features 
 
The IEEE802.11b WLAN PCI Card offers compliance with the IEEE 802.11b 
specification. This feature allows them to communicate with other wireless 
devices that support the standard. Features of the Card are:
