Some places, like France, have restrictions on the use of
wireless LAN. Check with your local authorities for more
information.
Features using wireless LAN, or allowing such features to
run in the background while using other features, increase
the demand on battery power and reduce the battery life.
Your device supports the following wireless LAN features:
• IEEE 802.11b/g standard
• Operation at a frequency of 2.4 GHz
• Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) with keys up to 128 bits,
Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), and 802.1x encryption
methods. These functions can be used only if they are
supported by the network.
You can create an Internet access point (IAP) in a wireless
LAN, and use it for applications that need to connect to the
Internet.

a data connection using a wireless LAN Internet access
point. The active wireless LAN connection ends when
you end the data connection. To end the connection,
see "Connection manager," p. 82.
You can use wireless LAN during a voice call or when
packet data is active. You can only be connected to one
wireless LAN access point device at a time, but several
applications can use the same wireless LAN connection.

applicable safety requirements when establishing and
using a wireless LAN connection.
There are two operating modes in wireless LAN: infrastructure
and ad hoc.
>
The infrastructure operating mode allows two kinds of
communication: wireless devices are connected to each
other through a wireless LAN access point device, or
wireless devices are connected to a wired LAN through
>
a wireless LAN access point device.
In the ad hoc operating mode, devices can send and receive
data directly with each other. To create an Internet access
point for the ad hoc network, see "Access points," p. 97.
