network employing an Access Point, while the Ad-Hoc mode allows
wireless-to-wireless, peer-to-peer communication. If you choose Infrastructure, the
SSID should have the same name as the Access Point. If you choose Ad-Hoc, all
clients should share the same SSID name. You may also select which Transfer
Rate you wish to use: 1, 2, 5.5, 11Mbps or Auto Rate. Under Power Saving
