3-MBPS WIRELESS ETHERNET HUBS, ADAPTERS, AND BRIDGES The LW001A and LW007A function exactly the same way, but the LW001A has permanently attached antennas, and the LW007A has detachable antennas. A third Hub, LW005A (which is covered in a separate manual), has the same hardware as the LW007A, but different software. It works with portable computers equipped with the PCMCIA Wireless Adapter (LW006A) to connect to wired Ethernet LANs. The Hub also contains the coordinating function that enables w
