The card offers Macintosh PowerBook users interoperability with Apple’s iBook and AirPort wireless options. In addition, SkyLine-equipped computers can connect to a wired Ethernet network through IEEE 802.11 DSSS-compatible access points. Users can also create an ad hoc peer-to-peer network between two or more portable computers. A unique Control Panel provides a real-time signal strength meter (Macintosh version), network statistics and dynamic configuration, omitting the need to restart.
