Wi-Fi Question of the Day (QOTD)

As a support technician for a PC card manufacturer, you receive a call from a user who is having problems with his internal mini-PCIe card. The user states that he generally uses the card for Wi-Fi connectivity, but has recently attempted to use the card with a software protocol analyzer. He states that he has installed the protocol analyzer software and selected his mini-PCIe card as the adapter for use, but it will not work.

What problem is likely preventing this user’s mini-PCIe card from working properly with the protocol analyzer? (Choose 2)

You must select 2 answers

Due to host operating system conflicts, mini-PCIe cards do not work with protocol analyzers.
Only external PCMCIA, USB, and PCI Express cards are compatible with protocol analyzers.
The user has installed the proper software, but a different driver is needed for protocol analysis.
The user’s Wi-Fi client utility software does not support the proper third-party APIs required by the protocol analysis software.
The mini-PCIe card is still being used for network connectivity, and the client supplicant has not released control of the adapter to the protocol analyzer.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
