During connection, the Station first sends a probe-request using the [[#NetworkInfo|generated]] SSID from the Action frame. If the probe-response contains the expected data for the [[#SecurityConfig]] type, the Station then proceeds to connect to the AccessPoint.
During connection, the Station first sends a probe-request using the [[#NetworkInfo|generated]] SSID from the Action frame. If the probe-response contains the expected data for the [[#SecurityConfig]] type, the Station then proceeds to connect to the AccessPoint.
Once connected, the Station must Authenticate with the AccessPoint, this is custom. The Station sends a frame, and the AccessPoint sends a response. Once Authenticated, the node is added to the [[#NodeInfo]] array in [[#NetworkInfo]], the Station will throw an error if it can't find a matching [[#MacAddress]] for itself here. If the Station does not successfully Authenticate X-seconds after connecting, the AccessPoint disconnects the Station. If the Station fails to Authenticate, the Station itself will disconnect as well.
Once connected, the Station must Authenticate with the AccessPoint, this is custom. The Station sends a frame (a maximum of 3 times in some cases if errors occur, with the same data), and the AccessPoint sends a response.

This does not use DHCP, each node on the network has to manually setup ARP (without sending ARP network requests) with the [[#NodeInfo]] array in [[#NetworkInfo]].

At this point standard sockets can be used over Data frames.

The Action frames have the following structure:
The Action frames have the following structure:

=== EthHeader ===

The custom Ethernet frames have the following structure:
* "Type: IEEE 802a OUI Extended Ethertype (0x88b7)"
* "IEEE802a OUI Extended Ethertype":
** "Organization Code: 00:22:aa (Nintendo Co., Ltd.)"
** "Protocol ID: {...}"
*** Depends on the frame:
*** 0x0102: [[#Authentication]]
*** 0x0103: ?
* The first byte of Data is value 0, then the ProtocolID-specific data follows, see below.
** ProtocolID 0x0103 frames are sent by the AccessPoint to the Station. This is 0x20-bytes of zeros, except for the first byte which is 0x3. This is sent by the AccessPoint prior to destroying the network?
