Abstract

See full text

An evaluation of supported rates of available wireless networks is performed and these supported rates are matched against supported rates of wireless connection hardware (e.g., a wireless network interface card) of a computer trying to connect to one of the wireless networks. If the wireless connection hardware of the computer supports the rates supported by a desired wireless network, the computer is able to connect to the wireless network. If the supported rates for the wireless network and the wireless network hardware of the computer do not match, the computer is not able to connect to the wireless network and the situation is handled accordingly, such as by presenting the computer an appropriate message or not permitting the computer to connect to the wireless network.
