Dell™ Wireless 1395 Mini-Card (Skyline)

The Dell™ Wireless 1395 Mini-Card introduces a single band low-cost card supporting 802.11b/g networks only. The Dell Wireless 1395 is based on the Dell Wireless 1390 card with a few improvements and fixes. It works in both Windows® XP and Windows Vista™

The Dell Wireless Client Card Utility has been updated to add increased functionality. A user friendly interface with wizards to help the customer setup a basic wireless connection. For enterprise customers, there is still a manual setup which provides 802.1x, WPA (WiFi Protected Access) for Enterprise and CCKM (Cisco Centralized Key Management) network authentication. The client utility introduces timed profiles and capabilities to restrict users from creating, modifying and deleting profiles.

The driver for the Dell Wireless 1395 is backward compatible with the existing Dell Wireless 1370/1470, 1390/1490 and 1500/1505 mini-PCI cards.


NOTE:
When using WPA-Enterprise or WPA-PSK as the Network Authentication method, the card senses whether the router or access point is using WPA or WPA2. The correct authentication and encryption type are then used to communicate with the router or access point. The difference between WPA and WPA2 is mainly the encryption method. WPA uses TKIP encryption and WPA2 uses AES encryption.
