Communicating with Your NEC Versa 6-11
Mini PCI Wireless LAN
Some NEC Versa L320 notebook computers come with built-in wireless LAN
capabilities featuring the Wi-Fi™ (wireless fidelity) IEEE 802.11b High Rate (HR)
standard for business users. Wireless LAN eliminates the need for connecting cables
between your computer and your local area network, facilitating mobility, minimizing
downtime, and improving your productivity.
The Wi-Fi compliant radio technology provides high-speed (11 Mbps) wireless
networking with the performance capabilities of a wired 10BaseT LAN connection.
NEC Versa L320 wireless LAN configurations come with Client Manager and driver
software installed and basic parameters set.
