When you start your computer, your Dell™ TrueMobile™ 1180 internal 802.11b PC Card detects certain wireless networks that are within 
range. Before you can connect to these and other wireless networks, you must configure a profile for each network using the information 
you obtained from your network administrator. Instructions for configuring a network profile are provided in 

WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (defined in the IEEE 802.11b standard) that encrypts data sent over radio 
waves. The use of the WEP key is optional and can be enabled or disabled. If the network you are connecting to has enabled WEP, you 
must also enable WEP in the network profile and set the WEP key to match the WEP key used by the network. Otherwise, you cannot 
connect to the network.

The Dell TrueMobile 1180 solution allows you to make a wireless connection to a network, as illustrated below.
