Wireless network as per IEEE 802.11 standard
The "PRISM Wireless LAN" network card operates in accordance with the IEEE 802.11 standard.
The 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band is used as a communications medium. The wireless networks
operating in accordance with 802.11 can easily be connected to existing Ethernet networks. With
the exception of a few additional parameters, wireless network cards that operate in accordance
with 802.11 are one system with a normal Ethernet card. This means that you can use all protocols
via a 802.11 wireless network just as with a cable-connected Ethernet (IP, IPX, NetBIOS,...). The
only difference is that you need not lay cables between the computers. The number of all wireless
LAN stations that can reach each other directly is generally referred to as a cell. The IEEE standard
offers two operating modes – the adhoc mode (peer-to-peer) and the infrastructure mode.
