Important Notice FOR ALL USERS OR DISTRIBUTORS!!!!
|
||||
|
||||
Intel wireless LAN adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and
|
||||
quality checked to ensure that they meet all necessary local and
|
||||
governmental regulatory agency requirements for the regions that they
|
||||
are designated and/or marked to ship into. Since wireless LANs are
|
||||
generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars,
|
||||
satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes
|
||||
necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and limit usage to avoid
|
||||
interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to
|
||||
provide test data to prove regional and local compliance to regional and
|
||||
governmental regulations before certification or approval to use the
|
||||
product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and
|
||||
software driver are designed to carefully control parameters that affect
|
||||
radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These
|
||||
parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage,
|
||||
channel scanning, and human exposure.
|
||||
|
||||
For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties
|
||||
of the software provided in binary format with the wireless WLAN
|
||||
adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any
|
||||
patches, utilities, or code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters that
|
||||
have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches,
|
||||
utilities, or code (including open source code modifications) which have
|
||||
not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be solely responsible for
|
||||
ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear
|
||||
no liability, under any theory of liability for any issues associated
|
||||
with the modified products, including without limitation, claims under
|
||||
the warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory non-compliance, and
|
||||
(iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in providing
|
||||
support to any third parties for such modified products.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be
|
||||
modules, and accordingly, condition system-level regulatory approval
|
||||
upon receipt and review of test data documenting that the antennas and
|
||||
system configuration do not cause the EMC and radio operation to be
|
||||
non-compliant.
|
||||
|
||||
The drivers available for download from SourceForge are provided as a
|
||||
part of a development project. Conformance to local regulatory
|
||||
requirements is the responsibility of the individual developer. As
|
||||
such, if you are interested in deploying or shipping a driver as part of

||||
|
||||
When using a device in an Ad-Hoc network, it is useful to understand the
|
||||
sequence and requirements for the driver to be able to create, join, or
|
||||
merge networks.

||||
|
||||
The following attempts to provide enough information so that you can

||||
Ad-Hoc network.
|
||||
|
||||
2.1. Joining an Ad-Hoc Network
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest way to get onto an Ad-Hoc network is to join one that
|
||||
already exists.
|
||||
|
||||
2.2. Creating an Ad-Hoc Network
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
An Ad-Hoc networks is created using the syntax of the Wireless tool.
|
||||
|
||||
For Example:
|
||||
iwconfig eth1 mode ad-hoc essid testing channel 2

||||
