The About tab displays the current version information.

The following information is displayed in the About tab:

•

Regional Domain. This is the region setting for the wireless adapter. The approved channels 
for the region are automatically scanned. Governments regulate the channels used for wireless 
transmission. Operating the wireless adapter in a different region might violate local laws.

•

Driver Version. The wireless adapter driver version. 

•

Driver Date. The wireless adapter driver release date.

•

MAC Address. The MAC address of the adapter. The Media Access Control address is a 
unique 48-bit hardware address assigned to every network interface card. Some wireless 
networks restrict access based on a list of known MAC addresses. If you are communicating 
with such a network, you must provide the address shown here to the network administrator 
before you are allowed to connect. Restricting access by MAC address adds an obstacle 
against unwanted access to your network. However, unless you use data encryption security, 
the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed.

•

IP Address. The IP address assigned to this adapter.

•

Smart Wireless Utility. The version and release date of the Wireless Assistant.
