A wireless network interface card (adapter)
is a device, called a station, providing the network physical layer over
a radio link to another station.
An access point (AP) is a station that provides frame distribution service
to stations associated with it.
The AP itself is typically connected by wire to a LAN. Each AP has a 0 to
32 byte long Service Set Identifier (SSID) that is also commonly called
a network name. The SSID is used to segment the airwaves for usage.
