networks that within range, running diagnostic tests, viewing statistics about network activity, and
viewing important information about your Sony Ericsson 802.11 Wireless LAN Adapter, the Sony

your computer. When the system startup process is complete,

wireless APs and other wireless clients. The appearance of the utility icon varies, depending on the
strength of the signal being received from the wireless AP or wireless client (if any) with which your
