operating systems and can be integrated into a larger network, running Windows XP,

Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows 98SE in either Ad Hoc mode (without an

Access Point or Router) or Infrastructure mode (with an Access Point or Router).

The IEEE 802.11b Ethernet standard allows you to connect computers and 802.11b

compatible devices at speeds up to 11Mbps, dependent upon the distance between

wireless adapters, the configuration of your working environment, or the capabilities or

limitations of your computer systems.
