1.0 Scope

1.1 Document

This document is to specify the product requirements for 802.11 g/b MiniPCI Card. This Card is
based on Atheros
chipset that complied with IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b standard from 2.4~2.5GHz, and it can
be used to provide
up to 54Mbps for IEEE 802.11g, or 11Mbps for IEEE 802.11b to connect your wireless LAN.
With seamless roaming, fully interoperability and advanced security with WEP standard, 802.11 g/b

MiniPCI Card

offers absolute interoperability with different vendors’ 802.11g and 802.11b Access Points through
the wireless LAN.
