Communicating with Your NEC Versa 6-11
Mini PCI Wireless LAN
Some NEC Versa L320 notebook computers come with built-in wireless LAN
capabilities featuring the Wi-Fi™ (wireless fidelity) IEEE 802.11b High Rate (HR)

between your computer and your local area network, facilitating mobility, minimizing
downtime, and improving your productivity.
