Configuration of the Philips miniPCI Wireless Network Adapter can be done through the Network 
Control Panel (NCP) in adapter properties. You can set the Wireless Network Adapter to work in one 
of two modes, either infrastructure mode (which leverages an AP) or ad hoc mode (which consists of 
a group of stations participating in the WLAN).  
In infrastructure mode, the Wireless Network Adapter participates in a basic service set (BSS) as a 
station, and communicates with the other stations through an AP, as illustrated below.
