Introduction

Overview

Section 1. Introduction

1.1 Overview

This document describes the functions of the Marvell Client Card Configuration Utility for the following Marvell® IEEE 802.11a/g/b and high throughput WLAN client cards:

• Marvell CB-85 CardBus WLAN Client Card

• Marvell MB-85 Mini PCI WLAN Client Card

• Marvell EC-85 PCI Express WLAN Client Card

• Marvell MC-85 PCI E xpress WLAN Client Mini Card

Marvell high throughput client cards are both IEEE 802.11a/g/b and draft-802.11n/EWC compliant.

Notes

• For information on installing the Marvell Configuration Utility, the Marvell client card, and the Marvell Windows driver, see the CB-85/MB-85/EC-85/MC-85 Installation Guide.

• For a list of acronyms used throughout this document see Appendix B. "Acronyms and Abbreviations"

on page 57.

1.2 Wireless Networks

The Marvell client cards operate similar to Ethernet cards, except that a radio replaces the wires between communication devices. All existing applications that operate over Ethernet operate over a Marvell wireless network without any modification or need for special wireless networking software. The Marvell client cards support the following network technologies:

• Ad-Hoc (peer-to-peer group) mode

• Access Point (AP) Infrastructure mode

1.2.1 Ad-Hoc Mode

In Ad-Hoc mode (also referred to as peer-to-peer mode), wireless clients send and receive information to other wireless clients without using an AP. In comparison to Infrastructure mode, this type of WLAN connection only contains wireless clients. Ad-Hoc mode is useful for establishing a network where wireless infrastructure does not exist or where services are not required. Two or more computers can establish an Ad-Hoc network when within range of one another. Each computer dynamically connects to one another without additional configuration. Ad-Hoc mode is used to connect network computers at home or in small offices. It is also used to set up a temporary wireless network for meetings.

1.2.2 Infrastructure Mode

In Infrastructure mode, wireless devices communicate with other wireless devices or devices on the LAN side wired network through APs. When communicating through wired networks, client cards send and re ceive information through APs. The AP receives the information and redirects it for clients to then receive the information.

Access Points are typically strategically located within an area to provide optimal coverage for wireless clients. A large WLAN uses multiple APs to provide coverage over a wide area. APs connect to a LAN through a wired Ethernet connection. APs send and receive information from the LAN through this wired connection. Most corporate WLANs operate in Infrastructure mode because they require access to the wired LAN in order to use services such as file servers or printers.

2.3 Security

Implementing a security infrastructure to monitor physical access to WLAN networks is more difficult than monitoring access on wired networks. Unlike wired networks where a physical connection is required, anyone within the range of a wireless AP can send and receiv e frames, as well as listen for frames being sent.

IEEE 802.11 defines a set of standards and protocols for use in minimizing the security risks on wireless networks. Three of these security standar ds ar e as fo l lo w s:

• 802.1x—802.1x authentication provides authenticated access to 802.11 wireless networks and to wired

Ethernet networks. 802.1x minimizes wireless network security risks by providing user and computer identification, centralized authentication, and encryption services based on the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm. 802.1x supports the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP allows the use of different authentication methods, such as smart cards and certificates.

• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)—WPA is a security implementation based on a subset of the 802.11i stan-

dard. WPA provides enhanced security for wireless networks when used with the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and the Message Integrity Check (MIC) algorithms.

• Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)—Next generation Wi-Fi security, based on the final 802.11i standard.

WPA2 offers the strongest available security in the form of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) level encryption, plus faster roaming between APs.

SECURITY CONFIGURATIONS

The Marvell Configuration Utility supports the following security protocols:

• Authentication Modes – Open System – Shared Key – Auto Switch – 802.1x – WPA-PSK – WPA2-PSK – WPA – WPA2 – Cisco Compatible eXtension (CCX)

• Encryption Methods – Security Off – WEP (including support for Cisco

Message Integrity Check (CMIC) and Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP))

– TKIP – AES

• 802.1x Authentication Protocol – EAP/Transport Layer Security (TLS) (equivalent to Microsoft “Smart Card or other Certificate”) – Protected EAP (PEAP) – EAP Tunneled TLS Authentication Protocol (TTLS) – Light EAP (LEAP)

• WEP Key Size – 64 bits WEP (40-bit key) – 128bits WEP (104-bit key)

Table 1: Link Information Section Description (Continued)

Field Description

Network Type Type of environment connected to:

• Infrastructure Mode

In this mode, wireless clients send and receive information through APs. When a wireless client communicates with another, it transmits to the AP. First the AP receives the information and rebroadcasts it, then other devices receive the information. The APs are strategically located wi thin an area to provide optimal coverage for wireless clients. A large WLAN uses multiple APs to provide coverage over a wide area. APs can connect to a LAN through a wired Ethernet connection. APs send and receive information from the LAN through the wired connection.

• Ad-Hoc Mode

In this mode, wireless clients send and receive information to other wireless clients without using an AP. This type of WLAN only contains wireless clients. Use Ad-Hoc mode to connect network computers at home or in small office, or to set up a temporary wireless network for a meeting.

Network BSSID Network Basic Service Set Identifier. The BSSID is a 48-bit identity used to identify a par-

ticular BSS within an area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC address of the AP. In independent BSS or Ad-Hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly.

Security Reports the type and level of security set. The security level is set through the Profile

Setting of the Profile Manager tab. Configure security settings also through the Site Survey tab when connecting to a network.

Tx/Rx Rates Current Tx Rate and Rx Rate of the channel being monitored.

3.1.3 Signal Strength / Wireless Mode Indicator

The color-coded Signal Strength bar displays the signal strength of the last packet received by the client card.
