Introduction 
Congratulations on choosing an outstanding wireless networking product. Your CardBus 
Enhanced Wireless Network Adapter conforms to Institute of Electrical and Electronics 
Engineers (IEEE) standard 802.11b and the Wi-Fi specification of the Wireless Ethernet 
Compatibility Alliance (WECA). It supports data rates of up to 11 megabits per second (Mbps) 
and 40- and 128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption, and will interoperate 
seamlessly with all other 802.11b and Wi-Fi compliant products. 
Your adapter also supports Packet Binary Convolutional Code (PBCC) modulation and 256-bit 
encryption. It can therefore provide a higher data rate (22 Mbps), increased throughput, up to 30 
percent greater range, and stronger security than other 802.11b-compliant adapters. These 
capabilities can be used on wireless links to products in the same family as your adapter. 
This guide contains detailed instructions on installing and using your adapter and the software 
included with it. Basic terms and concepts of wireless networking are also introduced. Follow the 
instructions in this guide carefully to ensure that your CardBus Enhanced Wireless Network 
Adapter will give you many years of trouble-free, high-performance operation.
