• Operation as an independent station (in infrastructure and ad hoc networks)
• A Management Information Base (MIB), used mainly for system configuration, such as setting
the MAC address, with values downloaded from the host or from non-volatile memory during
system initialisation
• 802.11i security enhancements (except STAKey)
• The firmware’s default MIB contents can be initialised from an EEPROM. This can be used to
set basic per-design and per-device data, such as the radio’s MAC address.
• Basic receive radio strength and signal quality data are available via the MIB
• Basic power saving (both IEEE 802.11 protocol and chip sleep modes)
• Host wake up signalling
• Host handshaking for deep sleep
