1.3 System 
Requirements 
Installation of the PC Card requires: 
1.  PC/AT compatible computer with PCMCIA Type II slot. 
2.  Windows 98//ME/2000/XP operating system environment. 
3.  Minimum 1.3M bytes free disk space for installing the PC Card driver 
and utility program. 
 
1.4 Network 
Configurations 
To better understand how the wireless LAN products work together to 
create a wireless network, it might be helpful to depict a few of the possible 
wireless LAN PC card network configurations. The wireless LAN products 
can be configured as: 
 
1.  Ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) for departmental or SOHO LANs. 
2.  Infrastructure for enterprise LANs or IP Sharing for 56K/ISDN 
TA/Cable/DSL Modem – Connect Internet and your SOHO network. 
 
Ad hoc (peer-to-peer) Mode 
This is the simplest network configuration that several computers equipped 
with the PC Cards that form a wireless network whenever they are within 
range of one another (Figure 1-3). In ad-hoc mode, each client, is peer-to-
peer, would only have access to the resources of the other client and 
requires no the access point. This is the easiest and least expensive way 
for the SOHO to set up a wireless network.
