Wireless LAN PC Card
You can purchase an external Wireless LAN PC Card separately, but your computer (depending on the model you
purchased) may already come with a built-in mini PCI card that allows for wireless connections. The Wireless LAN PC Card is
designed for a wireless LAN environment. You can use the Wireless LAN PC Card with or without the access point. With the
access point, you can build a wireless LAN between computers that are equipped with the Wireless LAN PC Card and gain
access to the Internet. Without the access point, you can achieve direct communication (Peer-to-Peer mode) between
computers.
