no other ad hoc adapters, this selection specifies which channel with the

adapter starts the ad hoc network with.

clients it associates to.

Authentication

Mode

Select what mode the wireless adapter uses to authenticate to an access

point:

• Auto: causes the adapter to attempt authentication using

shared, but switches it to open authentication if shared fails.

• Open: enables an adapter to attempt authentication regardless

of its WEP settings. It will only associate with the access point if

the WEP keys on both the adapter and the access point match.

• Shared: only allows the adapter to associate with access points

that have the same WEP key.

For infrastructure (access point) networks, click the Preferred APs button to specify up to four

access points to which the client adapter should attempt to associate.
