"IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL USERS OR DISTRIBUTORS:
Intel wireless LAN adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and quality checked to ensure that they meet
all necessary local and governmental regulatory agency requirements for the regions that they are designated
and/or marked to ship into. Because wireless LANs are generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with
radars, satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes necessary to dynamically detect,
avoid, and limit usage to avoid interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to provide test
data to prove regional and local compliance to regional and governmental regulations before certification or
approval to use the product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and software driver are designed
to carefully control parameters that affect radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These
parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage, channel scanning, and human exposure.
For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties of the software provided in binary format
with the wireless LAN adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any patches, utilities, or
code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters that have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches,
utilities, or code (including open source code modifications) which have not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be
solely responsible for ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear no liability, under any
theory of liability for any issues associated with the modified products, including without limitation, claims under
the warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory non-compliance, and (iii) Intel will not provide or be required to
assist in providing support to any third parties for such modified products.
Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be "modules", and accordingly, condition
system-level regulatory approval upon receipt and review of test data documenting that the antennas and system
configuration do not cause the EMC and radio operation to be non-compliant."

5.470 to 5.725 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems. High
power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar
stations can cause interference with and /or damage this device. No configuration controls are provided for this
wireless adapter allowing any change in the frequency of operations outside the FCC grant of authorization for U.S
operation according to Part 15.407 of the FCC rules.

This device cannot be co-located with any other transmitter unless approved by the FCC.
USA—Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation of the device is subject to the following two

Glossary of Terms
Term Definition
802.11 The 802.11 standard refers to a family of specifications developed by the IEEE for wireless LAN
technology. The 802.11 specifies an over-the-air interface between a wireless client and a base
station or between two wireless clients and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz
band using either frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) or direct sequence spread
spectrum (DSSS).
802.11a The 802.11a standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps and an operating
frequency of 5 GHz. The 802.11a standard uses the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
(OFDM) transmission method. Additionally, the 802.11a standard supports 802.11 features such
as WEP encryption for security.
802.11b 802.11b is an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless networks and provides 11 Mbps
transmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b uses only
DSSS. Throughput data rate 5+ Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.
802.11g The 802.11g standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps, an operating
frequency of 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11g networks are also referred to as
Wi-Fi* networks.
802.11n A task group of the IEEE 802.11 committee has defined a new draft specification that provides
for increased throughput speeds of up to 540 Mbps. The specification provides for Multiple-
Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology, or using multiple receivers and multiple transmitters
in both the client and access point, to achieve improved performance.
802.1X 802.1X is the IEEE Standard for Port-Based Network Access Control. This is used in conjunction
with EAP methods to provide access control to wired and wireless networks.
AAA Server Authentication, Authorization and Accounting Server. A system to control access to computer
resources and track user activity.
Access Point A device that connects wireless devices to another network. For example, a wireless LAN,
(AP) Internet modem or others.
Ad Hoc A communication configuration in which every computer has the same capabilities, and any
Network computer can initiate a communication session. Also known as a peer-to-peer network, a device
to device network or a computer -to-computer network.
AES-CCMP Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC -MAC Protocol is the new method for privacy
protection of wireless transmissions specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides
a stronger encryption method than TKIP. The AES algorithm is capable of using cryptographic
keys of 128, 192, and 256 bits to encrypt and decrypt data in 128-bit blocks. AES-CCMP uses
the AES block cipher, but restricts the key length to 128 bits. AES-CCMP incorporates two
sophisticated cryptographic techniques (counter mode and CBC -MAC) to provide improved
security between the mobile client and the access point.
Authentication Verifies the identity of a user logging onto a network. Passwords, digital certificates, smart cards
and biometrics are used to prove the identity of the client to the network. Passwords and digital
certificates are also used to identify the network to the client.
Available One of the networks listed under Available networks on the Wireless Networks tab of the
network Wireless Network Connection Properties (Windows* XP environment). Any wireless network that
is broadcasting and is within receiving range of the WiFi adapter appears on the list.
BER Bit Error Rate. The ratio of errors to the total number of bits being sent in a data transmission
from one location to another.
Bit Rate The total number of bits (ones and zeros) per second that a network connection can support.
Note that this bit rate will vary, under software control, with different signal path conditions.
Broadcast SSID Used to allow an access point to respond to clients on a wireless network by sending probes.
BSSID A unique identifier for each wireless client on a wireless network. The Basic Service Set
Identifier (BSSID) is the Ethernet MAC address of each adapter on the network.
CA (Certificate A corporate certification authority implemented on a server. In addition, Internet Explorer's
Authority) certificate can import a certificate from a file. A trusted CA certificate is stored in the root store.
CCX (Cisco Cisco Compatible Extensions Program ensures that devices used on Cisco wireless LAN
Compatible infrastructure meet the security, management and roaming requirements.
eXtension)
Certificate Used for client authentication. A certificate is registered on the authentication server (for
example, RADIUS server) and used by the authenticator.
CKIP Cisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP) is a Cisco proprietary security protocol for encryption in
802.11 media. CKIP uses a key message integrity check and message sequence number to
improve 802.11 security in infrastructure mode. CKIP is Cisco's version of TKIP.
Client computer The computer that gets its Internet connection by sharing either the host computer's connection
or the access point's connection.
DSSS Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum. Technology used in radio transmission. Incompatible with
FHSS.
EAP Short for Extensible Authentication Protocol, EAP sits inside of Point-to-Point Protocol's (PPP)
authentication protocol and provides a generalized framework for several different authentication
methods. EAP is supposed to head off proprietary authentication systems and let everything
from passwords to challenge-response tokens and public-key infrastructure certificates all work
smoothly.
EAP-AKA EAP-AKA (Extensible Authentication Protocol Method for UMTS Authentication and Key
Agreement) is an EAP mechanism for authentication and session key distribution, using the
Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Subscriber Identity Module (USIM). The
USIM card is a special smart card used with cellular networks to validate a given user with the
network.
EAP-FAST EAP-FAST, like EAP-TTLS and PEAP, uses tunneling to protect traffic. The main difference is that
EAP-FAST does not use certificates to authenticate.
Provisioning in EAP-FAST is negotiated solely by the client as the first communication exchange
when EAP-FAST is requested from the server. If the client does not have a pre-shared secret
Protected Access Credential (PAC), it can request to initiate a provisioning EAP-FAST exchange
to dynamically obtain one from the server.
EAP-FAST documents two methods to deliver the PAC: manual delivery through an out-of-band
secure mechanism, and automatic provisioning.
Manual delivery mechanisms can be any delivery mechanism that the administrator of the
network feels is sufficiently secure for their network.
Automatic provisioning establishes an encrypted tunnel to protect the authentication of

the client and the delivery of the PAC to the client. This mechanism, while not as secure
as a manual method may be, is more secure than the authentication method used in
LEAP.
The EAP-FAST method can be divided into two parts: provisioning, and authentication. The
provisioning phase involves the initial delivery of the PAC to the client. This phase only needs to
be performed once per client and user.
EAP-GTC The EAP-GTC (Generic Token Card) is similar to the EAP-OTP except with hardware token cards.
The request contains a displayable message, and the response contains the string read from the
hardware token card.
EAP-OTP EAP-OTP (One -Time Password) is similar to MD5, except it uses the OTP as the response. The
request contains a displayable message. The OTP method is defined in RFC 2289.
EAP-SIM Extensible Authentication Protocol-Subscriber Identity Module (EAP-SIM) authentication can be
used with:
Network Authentication types: Open, Shared, and WPA*-Enterprise, WPA2* -Enterprise.

Data Encryption types: None, WEP and CKIP.
A SIM card is a special smart card that is used by Global System for Mobile Communications
(GSM) based digital cellular networks. The SIM card is used to validate your credentials with the
network
EAP-TLS A type of authentication method that uses EAP and a security protocol called the Transport
Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates that use passwords. EAP-TLS authentication
supports dynamic WEP key management.
EAP-TTLS A type of authentication method that uses EAP and Tunneled Transport Layer Security (TTLS).
EAP-TTLS uses a combination of certificates and another security method such as passwords.
Encryption Scrambling data so that only the authorized recipient can read it. Usually a key is needed to
interpret the data.
FHSS Frequency-Hop Spread Spectrum. Technology used in radio transmission. Incompatible with
DSSS.
File and printer A capability that allows a number of people to view, modify, and print the same file(s) from
sharing different computers.
Fragmentation The threshold at which the wireless adapter breaks the packet into multiple frames. This
threshold determines the packet size and affects the throughput of the transmission.
GHz A unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000,000 cycles per second.
(Gigahertz)
Host computer The computer that is directly connected to the Internet via a modem or network adapter.
Infrastructure A wireless network centered around an access point. In this environment, the access point not
network only provides communication with the wired network, but also mediates wireless network traffic
in the immediate neighborhood.
IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is an organization involved in defining
computing and communications standards.
Internet The address of a computer that is attached to a network. Part of the address designates which
Protocol (IP) network the computer is on, and the other part represents the host identification.

response packets are sent over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel.
ns(Nanosecond) 1 billionth (1/1,000,000,000) of a second.
OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing.
Open Allows any device network access. If encryption is not enabled on the network, any device that
authentication knows the Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the access point can gain access to the network.
PEAP Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
draft protocol sponsored by Microsoft, Cisco, and RSA Security. PEAP creates an encrypted
tunnel similar to the tunnel used in secure web pages (SSL). Inside the encrypted tunnel, a
number of other EAP authentication methods can be used to perform client authentication. PEAP
requires a TLS certificate on the RADIUS server, but unlike EAP-TLS there is no requirement to
have a certificate on the client. PEAP has not been ratified by the IETF. The IETF is currently
comparing PEAP and TTLS (Tunneled TLS) to determine an authentication standard for 802.1X
authentication in 802.11 wireless systems. PEAP is an authentication type designed to take
advantage of server -side EAP-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) and to support various
authentication methods, including user passwords and one-time passwords, and Generic Token
Cards.
Peer-to-Peer A wireless network structure that allows wireless clients to communicate directly with each other
mode without using an access point.
Power save The state in which the radio is periodically powered down to conserve power. When the portable
mode computer is in Power Save mode, received packets are stored in the access point until the
wireless adapter wakes up.
Preferred One of the networks that has been configured. Such networks are listed under Preferred
network networks on the Wireless Networks tab of the Wireless Network Connection Properties
(Windows* XP environment).

RF (Radio The international unit for measuring frequency is Hertz (Hz), which is equivalent to the older
Frequency) unit of cycles per second. One MegaHertz (MHz) is one million Hertz. One GigaHertz (GHz) is
one billion Hertz. For reference: the standard US electrical power frequency is 60 Hz, the AM
broadcast radio frequency band is 0.55 -1.6 MHz, the FM broadcast radio frequency band is 88-
108 MHz, and microwave ovens typically operate at 2.45 GHz.
Roaming Movement of a wireless node between two micro cells. Roaming usually occurs in infrastructure
networks built around multiple access points. Current wireless network roaming is only
supported in the same subnet of a network.
RTS threshold The number of frames in the data packet at or above which an RTS/CTS (request to send/clear
to send) handshake is turned on before the packet is sent. The default value is 2347.
Shared key An encryption key known only to the receiver and sender of data. This is also referred to as a
pre-shared key.
SIM A SIM card is used to validate credentials with the network. A SIM card is a special smart card
(Subscriber used by GSM-based digital cellular networks.
Identity
Module)
Silent mode Silent Mode Access Points or Wireless Routers have been configured to not broadcast the SSID
for the wireless network. This makes it necessary to know the SSID in order to configure the
wireless profile to connect to the access point or wireless router.
Single Sign On Single Sign On feature set allows the 802.1X credentials to match your Windows log on user
name and password credentials for wireless network connections.
SSID (Service SSID or network name is a value that controls access to a wireless network. The SSID for your
Set Identifier) wireless network card must match the SSID for any access point that you want to connect with.
If the value does not match, you are not granted access to the network. Each SSID may be up
to 32 alphanumeric characters long and is case -sensitive.
stealth A stealth access point is one that has the capability and is configured to not broadcast its SSID.
This is the WiFi network name that appears when a DMU (Device Management Utility, such as
Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility) scans for available wireless networks. Although
this can enhance wireless network security, it is commonly considered a weak security feature.
To connect to a stealth access point, a user must specifically know the SSID and configure their
DMU accordingly. The feature is not a part of the 802.11 specification, and is known by differing
names by various vendors: closed mode, private network, SSID broadcasting.
TKIP (Temporal Temporal Key Integrity protocol improves data encryption. Wi-Fi Protected Access* uses its
Key Integrity TKIP. TKIP provides important data encryption enhancements including a re-keying method.
Protocol) TKIP is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless networks. TKIP is the next
generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure 802.11 wireless
networks. TKIP provides per packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying
mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP.
TLS (Transport A type of authentication method using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and a
Layer Security) security protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates which use
passwords. EAP-TLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key management. The TLS protocol is
intended to secure and authenticate communications across a public network through data
encryption. The TLS Handshake Protocol allows the server and client to provide mutual
authentication and to negotiate an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys before data is
transmitted.
TTLS (Tunneled These settings define the protocol and the credentials used to authenticate a user. In TTLS, the
Transport Layer client uses EAP-TLS to validate the server and create a TLS-encrypted channel between the
Security) client and server. The client can use another authentication protocol. Typically password-based
protocols challenge over this encrypted channel to enable server validation. The challenge and
response packets are sent over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel. TTLS implementations
today support all methods defined by EAP, as well as several older methods (CHAP, PAP, MS-
CHAP and MS-CHAP-V2). TTLS can easily be extended to work with new protocols by defining
new attributes to support new protocols.
WEP (Wired Wired Equivalent Privacy, 64- and 128-bit (64-bit is sometimes referred to as 40-bit). This is a
Equivalent low-level encryption technique designed to give the user about the same amount of privacy that
Privacy) he would expect from a LAN. WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks
(WLANs) defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP is designed to provide the same level of security
as that of a wired LAN. WEP aims to provide security by data over radio waves so that it is
protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another.
WEP Key Either a pass phrase or hexadecimal key.
The pass phrase must be 5 ASCII characters for 64-bit WEP or 13 ASCII characters for 128-bit
WEP. For pass phrases, 0-9, a-z, A-Z, and ~!@#$%^&*()_+|`-={}|[]\:";'<>?,./ are all valid
characters.
The hex key must be 10 hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F) for 64-bit WEP or 26 hexadecimal
characters (0-9, A-F) for 128-bit WEP.
Wi-Fi* Is meant to be used generically when referring of any type to 802.11 network, whether
(Wireless 802.11b, 802.11a, or dual-band.
Fidelity)
WiMAX WiMAX, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunications
technology aimed at providing wireless data over long distances in a variety of ways, from point-
to-point links to full mobile cellular type access. It is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard. The
name WiMAX was created by the WiMAX Forum, which was formed in June 2001 to promote
conformance and interoperability of the standard. The forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-
based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative
to cable and DSL."
Wireless router A stand -alone wireless hub that allows any computer that has a wireless network adapter to
communicate with another computer within the same network and to connect to the Internet.
WLAN (Wireless A type of local-area network that uses high -frequency radio waves rather than wires to
Local-Area communicate between nodes.

WPA* (Wi-Fi This is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access
Protected control to a wireless network. WPA is an interim standard that will be replaced with the IEEE's
Access) 802.11i standard upon its completion. WPA consists of RC4 and TKIP and provides support for
BSS (Infrastructure) mode only. WPA and WPA2 are compatible.
WPA2* (Wi-Fi This is the second generation of WPA that complies with the IEEE TGi specification. WPA2
Protected consists of AES encryption, pre-authentication and PMKID caching. It provides support for BSS
Access 2) (Infrastructure) mode and IBSS (ad hoc) mode. WPA and WPA2 are compatible.
WPA-Enterprise Wi-Fi Protected Access-Enterprise applies to corporate users. A new standards-based,
interoperable security technology for wireless LAN (subset of IEEE 802.11i draft standard) that
encrypts data sent over radio waves. WPA is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve
upon the security features of WEP as follows:
Improved data encryption through the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP). TKIP uses a
hashing algorithm to scramble the encryption keys and adds an integrity-checking feature
to ensure that the keys have not been tampered with.
User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible

authentication protocol (EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a
computer's hardware-specific MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and
stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only
authorized network users can access the network.
WPA is an interim standard that will be replaced with the IEEE's 802.11i standard upon its
completion.
WPA-Personal Wi-Fi Protected Access-Personal provides a level of security in the small network or home
environment.
WPA-PSK (Wi- WPA-PSK mode does not use an authentication server. It can be used with the data encryption
Fi Protected- types WEP or TKIP. WPA-PSK requires configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK). You must enter
Access Pre- a pass phrase or 64 hex characters for a pre-shared key of length 256-bits. The data encryption
Shared Key) key is derived from the PSK.
