Viewing Statistics for Your Client Adapter

The Client Statistics Utility (CSU) enables you to view statistics that indicate how data is being received
and transmitted by your client adapter. It also shows message integrity check (MIC) statistics if your
client adapter's driver and firmware support MIC and MIC is enabled on the access point.
The receive and transmit statistics are host statistics. That is, they show packets and errors received

the firmware level; therefore, they have no effect on the statistics shown by this utility.
