Device Configuration
Configuration of the D-Link DWL-A650 Wireless Network Adapter can be
done through the Network Control Panel (NCP) in adapter properties. You
can set the Wireless Network Adapter to work in one of two modes, either
infrastructure mode (which leverages an AP) or ad hoc mode (which consists
of a group of stations participating in the WLAN).
In infrastructure mode, the Wireless Network Adapter participates in a basic
service set (BSS) as a station, and communicates with the other stations
through an AP, as illustrated in Figure 2-1.
