This information is not available on the public FCC database but will be provided by Atheros. Atheros will provide a table of antenna type(s) models, cable lengths, and peak gain in each band. Generally, the list will include Omni-directional Inverted-F (PIFA) and stamped metal/film antennas for use inside laptops. In some cases, dipole antenna types may be included in the available list. Peak gain including cable losses are quoted in the table provided by Atheros. Use of any of the antennas in the list (identical or equivalent antenna with lower gain, dimensions and cable lengths) is acceptable in the host device, without any further FCC testing or submission. However, use of an antenna that is higher gain than those on the list or is a Different Type, requires additional testing and submission to the FCC. Therefore, antennas with higher gain or different type than specified by Atheros may not be used with the Atheros module until new testing and reporting is completed. You must contact the Atheros Regulatory Group to report any higher gain or new antenna type to be used with the module. Antenna Placement This 1x1 802.11 a/b/g/n with Bluetooth combo module has been certified by FCC as single module approval with the following restrictions:
The most conservative antenna-to-user separation distance shall be greater than 3 cm to end user or near-by person. 2 cm physical separation distance is measured by positioning the display section of notebook/Netbook/Laptop computers perpendicular to the keyboard section. Measure the distance from the nearest point of antenna to the bottom of host. When antenna is installed in the typical notebook/Netbook/laptop computer platform, the antenna cable shall be positioned away from antenna elements to conform to configuration tested for compliance. When the antennas are installed in the display section of notebook/Netbook/Laptop computer platform, the display section shall not have metallic components and material that can influence or change the operating and exposure characteristics of the antennas. If any one of condition listed above can not comply, please consult with Atheros regulatory contact person to determine the applicable equipment authorization procedure before marketing the host device. Simultaneous transmission of Radio Module with Other Integrated or Plug-In Radios Based upon FCC Knowledge Database publication number 616217 D03 (Supplement) https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/kdb/GetAttachment.html?id=30257, when there are multiple radios installed in a host device, RF exposure transmitting assessment shall be performed to determine the necessary application and test requirements. Certain criteria can be used in determine the Page6of9 requirement for simultaneous SAR evaluation and whether Class I or Class II permissive change may apply. A brief summary of the procedures is provided below. OEM integrators must consult the actual FCC KDB 616217 Supplement document for details:
Identify all possible combinations of simultaneous transmission configurations for all transmitters and antennas installed in the display screen and keyboard of the intended host computer configurations and provide the following information:
o Antenna-to-antenna separation distance o Antenna-to-user separation distance Transmitters/antennas operating from external card slots and/or connectors of the host computers must be more than 5 cm from any simultaneous transmitting antennas If simultaneous transmission radio/module is installed in the host as portable device ( <
20 cm to the body of user) , determine the highest 1-g SAR value of each portable radio module for applicable simultaneous transmission operating modes and configurations. If simultaneous radio is installed in the host as mobile device (> 20 cm to the body of user) , determine the MPE (power density) according to the highest output power, , antenna gain and antenna-to-user separation distance in each frequency band. Determine the antenna to antenna separation distances as required for the conditions below a) When the [( of the highest measured 1-g SAR for each portable transmitter/antenna included in the simultaneous transmission configuration) / 1.6 W/kg] + of [(the highest MPE for each mobile transmitter/antenna included in the simultaneous transmission configuration) / (the corresponding MPE limit)] < 1; (where: excludes antennas that do not require SAR evaluation, the corresponding MPE limits based upon frequency band can be found at table 1 of section 1.1310 of CFR 47:

Maximum mode causes the access point to buffer incoming messages for the wireless adapter. The adapter periodically polls the access point to see if any messages are waiting. Normal uses maximum when retrieving a large number of packets, then switches back to power save mode after retrieving the packets. Off turns power saving off, thus powering up the wireless adapter continuously for a short message response time. Network Type Specifies the network as either infrastructure or ad hoc. 802.11b Preamble Authentication Mode Specifies the preamble setting in 802.11b. The default setting is Short &
Long (access point mode), which allows both short and long headers in the 802.11b frames. The adapter can only use short radio headers if the access point supports and uses them. Set to Long Only to override allowing short frames. Select the mode the wireless adapter uses to authenticate to an AP:
Auto causes the adapter to attempt authentication using shared, but switches it to open authentication if shared fails. Open enables an adapter to attempt authentication regardless of its WEP settings. It will only associate with the access point if the WEP keys on both the adapter and the access point match.

To remove the newly installed driver from the system if the system does not have previously installed versions of the NDIS driver, proceed to Step 4. 1. To remove the NDIS driver from the OS, go to Device Manager, right-click Atheros AR500x Wireless Network Adapter, and choose Uninstall. 2. Click OK to uninstall the device. 3. When the device is uninstalled from Device Manager, search for and delete the driver files that reside in the system. a. Go to the Start menu and choose Search > For Files or Folders. b. Enter oem*.inf in the Search for files or folders named: field, and enter Atheros in the Containing text: field. c. Click Search Now.

To complete the uninstallation, remove the file ar5211.sys from the folder
\WINNT\system32\drivers. Additional Security Features These security features prevent attacks on a wireless network's WEP keys. The wireless adapter automatically supports each of these features, but these features must be enabled on the access point. Message Integrity Check (MIC) MIC prevents bit-flip attacks on encrypted packets. In a bit-flip attack, someone intercepts an encrypted message retransmits it after some alterations. Thus the receiver accepts the message as legitimate. The MIC adds some bytes to each packet to protect it against tampering. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) This feature prevents attacks on WEP in which someone catches encrypted packets and uses their initialization vector (IV) to decipher the WEP key. TKIP removes the predictability to protect both unicast and broadcast WEP keys. Broadcast Key Rotation EAP authentication provides dynamic unicast WEP keys for wireless adapters, but uses static broadcast keys. In broadcast WEP key rotation, the access point supplies a dynamic broadcast WEP key and changes it at intervals. 26 COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL Atheros Communications, Inc.
