the dropdown menu.
When you tap on the config you created, the 802.11b/g radio module attempts to connect to
the network using the following steps:
1. Authenticate to the network.
2. If EAP authentication is being used, derive dynamic encryption keys.
3. If DHCP is being used by the network, obtain an IP address.
