Wireless LAN

802.11b standard. You can access the network by the wireless LAN.

Adhoc network. You can connect your computer to a wired LAN or the Internet
through an access point that is also compliant with IEEE 802.11b standard. The
Adhoc network consists of a number of computers each equipped with wireless
networking interface. Each computer can communicate directly with other wireless
