This section summarizes the features of the WLAN Client software that are supported by the adapters. WLAN Client Software is used to manage the configuration of the WLAN adapter, create and manage network profiles, provide connection status and diagnostic information, and implement security features that help enable a secure connection between the client and the WLAN infrastructure. These security tasks include entering encryption keys and configuring and executing 802.1x authentication)5. Also, the WLAN client software often implements additional features proprietary to the WLAN manufacturer. All WLAN adapters used in HP notebooks support the Microsoft Windows XP Wireless Network Connection Manager that is native to the operating system, as well as client software provided by the WLAN manufacturer. For the HP WLAN W400 and W500, the manufacturer's software is the Atheros Client Utility. For the Intel 5 The WLAN software is sometimes referred to as the supplicant, but actually the security software supplicant is only the component of the client software application that requests authentication from the network's authentication server. 7
