- PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Mini PCI Express network adapters.</p>
-<p class="Pp">These are the modes the <code class="Nm">wpi</code> driver can
- operate in:</p>
-<dl class="Bl-tag">
- <dt id="infrastructure">BSS mode</dt>
- <dd>Also known as
- <a class="permalink" href="#infrastructure"><i class="Em">infrastructure</i></a>
- mode, this is used when associating with an access point, through which
- all traffic passes. This mode is the default.</dd>
- <dt>monitor mode</dt>
- <dd>In this mode the driver is able to receive packets without associating
- with an access point. This disables the internal receive filter and
- enables the card to capture packets from networks to which it wouldn't
- normally have access, or to scan for access points.</dd>
-</dl>
-<p class="Pp"><code class="Nm">wpi</code> supports software WEP. Wired
- Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the de facto encryption standard for wireless
- networks. It can be typically configured in one of three modes: no
- encryption; 40-bit encryption; or 104-bit encryption. Unfortunately, due to
- serious weaknesses in the WEP protocol it is strongly recommended that it
- not be used as the sole mechanism to secure wireless communication. WEP is
- not enabled by default.</p>
