This is the minimum packet size required for an RTS
(request to send). For packets smaller than this threshold, an RTS is
not sent and the packet is transmitted directly to the wireless network.
Select a setting within a range of 0 to 2347 bytes. NOTE: A minor
change is recommended.
This value denes the maximum size of packets;
any packet size larger than the value will be fragmented. If you’ve
decreased this value and experience high packet-error rates, you
can increase it again, but it will likely decrease overall network
performance. Select a setting within a range of 256 to 2346 bytes.
NOTE: A minor change is recommended.

This pull-down menu setting has to be consistent
with the wireless networks that the adapter is intended to connect.
No authentication is needed within the wireless network.
Only wireless devices using a shared key (WEP key
identied) are allowed to connect to each other.
This is a pre-EAP, Cisco-proprietary protocol with many of
the features of EAP protocols. Cisco controls the ability of other
vendors to implement this protocol, so it should be selected for use
only when a limited vendor choice for client, access point and server
products is not a concern. When you’ve set up LEAP authentication,
you need to enter the username and password of your computer.
WPA provides a scheme of mutual authentication using either
