The 54Mbps is made possible by the new modulation method called OFDM, which is different from the current CCK modulation method for 11Mbps. The 54Mbps wireless products also operate in the 2.4GHz ISM band and they are backward compatible with 11Mbps wireless products.

Q02: Could I implement the driver/utility installations on another operating system?

Yes, you can. All the installation mentioned in the user’s manual could be implemented on Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP and there will be no difference.

Q01: Does the 54Mbps Wireless Cardbus PC Card support 802.1x?

There are three essential components to the 802.1x infrastructure: (1) Supplicant, (2) Authenticator and (3) Server. The 802.1x security supports both MD5 and TLS Extensive Authentication Protocol (EAP).
