Introduction
The 802.11b Wireless 32bit CardBus PC Card
is a device that lets you connect your notebook to
a wireless local area network (LAN). A wireless
LAN is like a regular LAN, except that you can
share information without looking for a place to
plug in, and augment networks without installing
or moving wires. Based on radio frequency (RF)
technology, a wireless LAN transmits and
receives data over the air, along with the
guarantee to provide privacy and noninterference
by the use of separate radio frequency.
The 802.11b Wireless 32bit CardBus PC Card
allows you to take full advantage of your PC’s
mobility with access to real-time information and
online services anytime and anywhere. Plus,
with the network installation simplicity and
flexibility, you can eliminate the need to pull
cable through walls and ceilings and allow the
network to go where wires cannot go. Exploring
WWW and augmenting networks can never be
done more easily
