Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a BENQ AWL100 Wireless LAN PC Card. The AWL100
Wireless LAN PC Card lets you connect to your network and the Internet without
needing to be tethered to a fixed location by a physical cable, while still getting the
same data transfer rates as with traditional Ethernet. In addition to allowing you to
enjoy the wonders of wireless networking, the AWL100 provides two operating
modes—ad-hoc mode (peer-to-peer) and infrastructure mode (station-to-AP)—to
meet to your varying needs at different purposes.
