to join. The SSID distinguishes one WLAN group from another, so all

WLAN group must use the same SSID. If the SSID field is set to
“ANY”, it will detect the strongest signal from any available wireless
network.
Channel: Displays the channel number that is currently being used by
the Cardbus. The channel number can only be set under the Ad-Hoc

Infrastructure mode, the Cardbus will automatically detect and use the
channel number provided by the Access Point.
