the IEEE 802.11a+b or 802.11g wireless LAN standards.
It supports the following:
■ Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 54,
24,12 and 6 Mbit/s.

encryption algorithm. (Revision G, A/G combo type.)
The computer must be configured properly before connecting to a LAN.
Logging onto a LAN using the computer's default settings could cause a
malfunction in LAN operation. Check with your LAN administrator
regarding set-up procedures.
