A check mark is presented for any Wi-Fi network that is currently listed in
the Network Profiles window. This includes network profiles that have
been pre-defined by Cingular, Wi-Fi networks for which you have created
Network Profiles and Wi-Fi networks that you have saved using the New
Network Options dialog.
Network
This is the Network Signal Set IDentifier (SSID). Essentially this is just a
name that is broadcast by a Wi-Fi access point to identify the network.
If you see a *closed* item in this column, this indicates the presence of one
or more Closed networks. Connecting to such a network requires the
creation of a profile for that network. See How to access a closed network
for more information.
Mode
This column displays two possible entries:
Indicates that this network is in infrastructure mode. You will be
connecting to a network through a dedicated wireless access
point.
Indicates that this network is in ad hoc mode. You will be
connecting directly to another PC through its wireless network
interface card.
BSSID
This is the MAC address of the Access Point’s Wireless Network Interface
Card.
Channel
The channel on which the wireless network is broadcasting.
Encryption
Networks that are encrypted will have the icon in this column. The
accompanying text indicates the encryption method. See How to access an
encrypted network for instructions on connecting to encrypted networks.
