tion has been successful, it shows "Authenticated". If it has failed, it
displays the reason for this. This authentication concerns connec-
tion only, and does not necessarily indicate that the network is us-
able.
. Channel: In France, only channel 10 and 11 are available. In USA,
Canada, Europe or Australia, you have 11 options: channel 1~11.
If you cannot connect with the APs or the 802.11 Ad Hoc Network
Stations, check if the channel been used is between 1~11. Using
channels other than 1~11 will not enable the connection.
The channel is set by the adapter, which starts the 802.11Ad Hoc
network. Under 802.11Ad Hoc mode, the first station forms the
802.11 Ad Hoc network should choose a proper SSID and the chan-
nel for use. Other stations will only have the same SSID set to join
the 802.11 Ad Hoc network automatically.
