### Recommended Power Configuration

A client disassociates upon moving from hibernation mode when the following conditions are met:

- A client is connected to an 802.1X profile.
- The Power Management setting in the Adapter Settings is configured to "Allow the device to bring the computer out of standby".
- In Windows, the system is configured to move automatically from standby to hibernation in the Power Option Properties.

The recommendation is to set the system hibernate power option to “Never” when the computer is on AC power.

### Known Issues

#### Operating in 802.11n Mode

Intel recommends using security with your wireless network. The Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN adapter can only achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n connections when using AES security, or no security. You should only use no security when setting up or troubleshooting the network.

To enable AES for Personal Security, select WPA-Personal (AES-CCMP) or WPA2-Personal (AES-CCMP) in the Security Settings pulldown menu. To enable AES for Enterprise Security, select AES-CCMP in the Data Encryption pulldown menu.

#### Wi-Fi* Protected Setup*

Wi-fi* Protected Setup* is supported only on the 3945ABG Network Connection, the Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, and Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG_.

#### Engineering Release Notes

- WoWLAN is not supported with NETBIOS packets on Microsoft Windows Vista. This is expected to be fixed by Microsoft at SP1.
- When the driver is uninstalled, the default setting loads the Microsoft Windows Vista inbox driver.
